Today, I was working on an app with a UI that asks for an SSH key password. When I put my password in, it didn't work.
There were no useful logs so I wondered if I used the wrong password. I had the password for that key in 1Password (after years of creating SSH keys with fancy passwords only to forget about them), so I was positive the it was correct, but there was a chance I was using the wrong key file.
To verify my password, I used this command:
ssh-keygen -y -f /path/to/ssh_keyThe -y option "will read a private OpenSSH format file and print an OpenSSH public key to stdout".
The -f option specifies the path to the private key.
If the private key is password protected, ssh-keygen will ask for the password.
