To avoid this, you will need to detach the process from the shell. Please
Google to learn how to do this for your shell. One method of doing this is

## Pageant on Windows
The SSH executable will not be able to access Pageant on Windows. While
Vagrant is capable of accessing Pageant via internal libraries, the
SSH executable does not have support for Pageant. This means keys
from Pageant will not be available for forwarding when using the
`vagrant ssh` command.
Third party programs exist to allow the SSH executable to access Pageant
by creating a unix socket for the SSH executable to read. For more information
please see [ssh-pageant](https://github.com/cuviper/ssh-pageant).
