Which is what I now have - only ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 In my investigations I did read a note somewhere that the only error that is given is "Bad passphrase" no matter what the error really is. This is crap coding of the highest order (high as in 'it stinks'), it is unfortunately all too common in a lot of s/ware - little effort made to give meaningful error messages.
