SSH authentication agents - such as Pageant
The ability to use SSH keys provided from an agent (such as Pageant1) instead of using a static path to them in the connection configuration.

Yet three years later and still the same missing feature.

What is more annoying about the lack of supporting an SSH authentication agent ist that the passphrase must be retyped every time you start a connection (I do not want to store my passphrase of the private key in any software).
MySQL Workbench supports at least, that no passphrase must be entered once the key is loaded in Pageant. Other SSH Tools like WinSCP or FileZilla automatically check all loaded keys without the need to even enter any path to a key file.
Since this feature wish is more than 4 years old, It already stops me evaluating the trial version of dbForge Studio any further because this is a must have for me.
