Adding SSH key gives error with correct key

Feedback & Bug Reports

So I’ve been trying to add a new SSH key at https://circleci.com/gh/myorganisation/myproject/edit#ssh but I keep getting the error “Error: it looks like private key is invalid key. Double check If we can help, contact us.”

My key is roughly

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEpQIBAAKCAQEAyGoAVjc0bcnrFi/kMIiwwBXlQkvp5cgdLZ5JLZHk2qTDiMcV
(and a whole lot of the other stuff)
mCkZRRqQ39em5VaT+ES6XoEgOdJr6P9tcLub0AQ8Wtt1V9RdkykMUhc=
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

(yes yes I will make a new key and throw that data away :slight_smile: )

So it all initially looks correct to me, I saw another post similar where the guy was forgetting the headers, I’ve added 3 other keys no problems
