When using a public/private key pair, generated with puttygen, and adding the ppk file to a ssh session, it keeps prompting for a private key passphrase, no matter what I type, keeps prompting for a passphrase, finally failing to connect.

sshPpkTabby

While, for example with MobaXterm, it will instantly pick it up from paegant.
Ive tried with keys loaded in pageant , no keys, and paegant not running, the issue remains, making all machines using public/private keys created with putty gen either unusable or forcing to change the format of the private keys.

I created a new pair of keys, with no passphrase, and still prompts for a passphrase that doesnt exist.

Agent type set tried both automatic and paegant.

Also tried converting this existing key into openSsh format, and IT WORKS!

ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t ed25519
(then)
ssh-copyid name@a.dozen.servers

open puttygen and load id_ed25519 save in all the formats I possibly could..

save keypath in kitty, works.

ssh from cmd, works.

Whatever I do in tabby.. cannot get to to work..
