This. Not proud, but Windows user here: I use KeeAgent Plugin [1] for Keepass to manage my SSH keys (Putty/Pageant). Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 1 and 2) connects to the Pageant SSH Agent via a Socket. When I SSH -A into machines on WSL, my KeePass DB opens and I need to confirm each key use (`Always require confirmation when client program requests to use key`). This simply means hitting enter twice, instead of once. The Keepass DB is set to stay unlocked for 6 Minutes when not in use, which is usually enough to not require entering the master key more than once during working hours.
Of course, I still make sure to only use `-A` to servers I trust.
