More specifications about SSH Key issue #570

Closed sarahrams closed 4 years ago

sarahrams commented 4 years ago

Problem

I run across many types of keys: SSH key, ECDSA key fingerprint and Agent pid XXX, without really understanding the use of all them. I was even confused trying to figure out which one is SSH key.

Steps to reproduce the problem

N/A

Screenshots

Proposed solution

Detailed explanations of what each of the above-mentioned key is, and which one to consider for which step. Provide SSH key format (image) in the instructions in order to avoid confusion.

Looks like this is the same issue as #534. Please consider closing one of the two.

Yes. I did. Thanks

So the SSH key seems to be the RSA key, or at least the public part of it, whereas the Agent PID and ECDSA fingerprint seem to be identifiers for your SSH connection and not keys themselves
