Playing with public key authentication on a 1811, and it seems that

The public key is longer than 254 characters, however.
Just enter the hash.
How does one go about entering more than 254 characters? Im sure Im
missing something really simple here, like a control character
sequence to allow more text to be entered on a following line
perhaps....?
Ive noticed that you can also use a hash instead of the full key text,
and this is working just fine. Are there any concerns using the hash
instead of full key text?
It converts a key to a hash anyway IME, so no - you get the exact same
experience.
You can get the hash from a Unix box with:
ssh-keygen -l -f $KEY | awk '{ print $2 }' | sed -e 's/://g'
