Register SSH Key but keep asking password

Anvil Q&A
1

What I’m trying to do:
To remove password authentication when I use git to pull anvil projects.
What should I try?

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:

  1. register ssh public key on my account setting

  2. specify key on config file
    config

    Host anvil.works
        #IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa

  3. test connect with following statement
    ssh -p 2222 -i ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa -l [my-login] anvil.works -v
    Test Connect Result

  4. First I registered rsa public key, it doesn’t work, so I regen ecdsa key and registered now, it doesn’t work either.

When you started typing this, it probably gave you a list of topics that it said were similar and that you should read.

Can you confirm that you did?

If not, search the forum for “ssh key” and come back if the very first result isn’t exactly what you need.
