Hey there, I've noticed some unexpected behavior when I occasionally need to forward an ed25519-sk key with ssh-agent. When using the key without an agent, it prompts with a reminder to touch the key: $ ssh user@remote Confirm user presence for key ED25519-SK MD5:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX User presence confirmed But as soon as I add the key to an agent, it now hides that reminder: $ ssh-agent /bin/bash $ ssh-add /path/to/key Identity added: /path/to/key (ssh:keyname) $ ssh user@remote <key starts blinking but no reminder to touch it> I first noticed it when forwarding the agent, but it's reproducible locally without forwarding required. Some people might prefer to keep the message hidden, which would be okay by me if I could choose to toggle it on. I don't see any options in the various openssh manpages to allow that though. It also seems inconsistent with the expectations set when I use the key without an agent. Could you consider adding an option which would allow forcing the message to appear when used with an agent? I think an argument could be made this should be the default behavior, but I'm not going to die on that hill, I'd be content with a configurable toggle.
