With the latest release 2025.1.3 the SSH Agent functionality doesn't work with flatpak version of Bitwarden. In my testing I have run into two issues:
The client fails to create the .bitwarden-ssh-agent.sock file.
The client attempts to create the file at the default directory /home/<user>/.bitwarden-ssh-agent.sock but fails due to lacking filesystem access.
This can be worked around by either granting the app access to the user's home directory or by settings the BITWARDEN_SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable to something the client can access, such as /home/<user>/.var/app/com.bitwarden.desktop/.bitwarden-ssh-agent.sock
Usage of SSH hangs after setting the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.
This result can be observed running ssh-add -L after setting the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.
The first time running the command will fail with the error communication with agent failed but subsequent attempts hang.
I have not discovered a fix for this block yet.

Issue Tracking Info
I understand that work is tracked outside of GitHub. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
