Always ask "Private key passphrase"

See original GitHub issue

Version: 1.0.173 Platform: macOS x64 21.3.0 Plugins: none Frontend: xterm

When using ssh **@***.****.***.***, tabby always ask me to input the “Private key passphrase”. Either input the key in or esc it, the alert window is always at the front, and tabby doesn’t ssh correctly. Make sure the private keys are there.

Anyone know this?

Ok, I just found out what was the problem for me: I had to open PuttyGen, load the private key with passphrase, go to “Conversions” and export the key with “Export OpenSSH key”, than I changed the profile setting, pointing to the new key file. It works now, I think it should be specified in the profile creation page. Something like “Note: only OpenSSH key files are compatible”.

It just happened to me too. Plus, the private key I’m using for the SSH connection doesn’t even have a passphrase, so I think it’s just an endless cycle in the code…
