SSH does not work if the key is password-protected

[PP-Chris]

Unfortunately, when trying to use SSH keys, I get the error message "Failed Got remote connection. Ensure your repo is initialized, and check your connection to the Git host." when trying to connect to the repository. If I use a key without a password then everything works perfectly.

Would it be possible to add support for password protected SSH keys please?

SSH isn't a very tested path, as HTTPS authentication has much better support in LFS. Due to security concerns, we could only add support for an in-memory password option in source control settings.

Also, is there any possibility of using some sort of manager for this on the OS to unlock SSH keys during the login session?

I have the same error. Any plan to support SSH auth ?
