Bug 489336 – SSH connection with key not working in Wayland session

“Too many authentication failures” is an error most often caused - for me - when I have too many keys loaded into the agent. What does ssh-add -l look for you?

On my wayland session, without SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=force I get the passphrase prompt in the terminal, and with it I get a ksshaskpass prompt - so it looks working according to what MSS said in the bug report.

If you use -v option for SSH, can you report what it shows after the Server accepts key debug message?

Yep, there was list w/ 6 different keys. Move ~/.ssh and it works! Thank you for tip
