Thanks for the clarification. As I understand it, if I have a key in the old format and want to use the new format, I will just request changing the passphrase and it will change to the new format automatically. ssh-keygen -f <my-key> -p which was before: ssh-keygen -f <my-key> -p -o head <my-key> should the contain the line: -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- Best regards, keep up the good work Adam Kalisz
