Latest version breaks agent forwarding – Prompt 2 Review

I've been a paid Prompt user for a year or so and absolutely loved the app. Unfortunately the latest version has made a very serious change to security which renders it unusable for me. In prior versions, Prompt supported agent forwarding, key-based authentication and storing of key pass phrases as three unique features you can choose to make use of, which is how it should be. In 2.5, agent forwarding is no longer usable with key-based authentication UNLESS you also save your private key pass phrase on your iOS device. My ssh key pass phrase is not something I want saved on any portable device regardless of how good Apple's encryption is (we'll soon find out with the Apple vs US gov battle over the locked iPhone). So, the fact that I do not want to store my pass phrase on my iPad means I'm no longer able to ssh through one server to another using Prompt and agent forwarding. The old version did it find and didn't force me to save my pass phrase.
