Loading Key Invalid Format

Hi guys,

Doing something slightly unconventional - running this on Windows. I already resolved one issue (subprocess.run needs shell=True added or it fails to load files. However, now I’m having issues with key format. I’ve uploaded my private key and the file name as described, but unfortunately I’m getting this error:

DEBUG:root:Running ssh-add
Error loading key "(stdin)": invalid format
WARNING:root:Could not add key to the SSH agent

It appears it fails somewhere in the subprocess.run for SSH add, maybe the input? I’m not sure the best thing to look for to debug this problem. Any thoughts or direction would be appreciated!

Thanks, Brandin.

maybe it could be related to the linebreak characters?

I’m thinking it could be an issue with the API and the data being returned to the CLI. I’ve reached out to Bitwarden and will report back with my findings. Right now I’m getting a 404 for the attachment, so I think what was being retrieved was old data despite the vault saying its up to date.

@Brandin - Try generating an SSH key using the below script:

https://github.com/modem7/public_scripts/blob/master/Batch + Powershell/ed25519gen.bat

I’ve not had any problems with keys generated in this method (except for WinSCP which doesn’t like anything not PuTTY based).

Make sure ssh-keygen is installed. I’ve installed OpenSSH via Powershell, unsure if that’ll help any.
