Bitwarden SSH Agent

Requirements

  • You need to have the Bitwarden CLI tool installed and available in the $PATH as bw.
  • ssh-agent must be running in the current session.

What does it do?

Fetches SSH keys stored in Bitwarden vault and adds them to ssh-agent.

How to use it

  1. Run,
    ./bw_add_sshkeys.py
    
  2. Enter your Bitwarden credentials, if a Bitwarden vault session is not already set.
  3. (optional) Enter your SSH keys' passphrases.

Storing the keys in BitWarden

  1. Create a folder called ssh-agent (can be overridden on the command line).
  2. Add an new secure note to that folder.
  3. Upload the private key as an attachment.
  4. Add the custom field private (can be overridden on the command line), containing the file name of the private key attachment.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each subsequent key

Improvements to be made

  • Find a way to extract the attachment from bitwarden in memory, instead of using a temporary file.
