----
To **load multiple identities** use the `identities` style, For example:
To **NOT load any identities on start** use the `lazy` setting. This is particularly
useful when combined with the `AddKeysToAgent` setting (available since OpenSSH 7.2),
since it allows to enter the password only on first use. _NOTE: you can know your
OpenSSH version with `ssh -V`._
```zsh
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent lazy yes
```
You can enable `AddKeysToAgent` by passing `-o AddKeysToAgent=yes` to the `ssh` command,
or by adding `AddKeysToAgent yes` to your `~/.ssh/config` file [1].
See the [OpenSSH 7.2 Release Notes](http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.2).

if the `lazy` setting is enabled**). For example:
