Description

A frontend for ssh-agent that helps keep one long-running agent process available across logins. It reduces repeated passphrase prompts for SSH and GPG keys in terminal workflows.

Use it when you understand how your keys are loaded and unlocked. Long-running agents improve convenience but increase the importance of session security.
