How to use SSH Key?

I just got the new bitwarden update and noticed it has a filter for SSH Keys

However, I see no way to create/add ssh keys. Am I missing it?

We all are, so to speak. I can’t name you a source, but it was mentioned somewhere, that the feature is still behind a feature flag and probably comes in January…

The most recent vault hours mentioned that SSH is planned for rollout in Q1, 2025. From what I understood, it will include a ssh agent so that it can work in a single-sign-on fashion with (some/many) ssh clients.

This is where the particular feature flag was mentioned.

Dev of the feature here; as @Nail1684 and @DenBesten correctly mentioned this is planned to roll out in January for bitwarden.com/bitwarden.eu with creation (generation/import) of the credential likely being limited to Desktop client for the first release, soon followed by the other clients gaining import and generator capabilities [the changes are still in code-review].

Self-hosted is yet unclear, but most likely one or two releases after the feature has been proven stable on the cloud deployment.

As for the agent: All ssh clients that support ssh_auth_sock on mac/linux, or the openssh named pipe on windows will work. That includes, but is not limited to:

  • Openssh
  • VSCode (git sign/push)
  • git
  • rsync

What won’t work in the first release:

  • Putty/Pageant based clients on Windows
  • WSL on Windows
  • probably Snap/Flatpak Bitwarden Desktop

The keys being visible in the filter, and not hidden by the feature-flag is an oversight.

Did I get some thing wrong or is SSH support just missing in 25.1.2 on Linux?

Hey there, the feature will be enabled for everyone soon, thanks for your patience!
