If you enter your login password, does it work? If so, then this certainly is not a problem with ssh-keygen, but rather some problem with getting ssh or sshd configured correctly - it's not that your login password is attached to your key somehow, but rather that ssh is falling back to requesting a password after failing to authenticate using a key.
