I have a problem. I generated a ssh key with "ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "GitLab" -b 4096", after that I loaded the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub content into Profile Settings -> SSH Keys.

After that I tried to go into a directory and type "git clone git@gitlab.cs.pub.ro:/l2-pa-project-BITpick.git" (where is my user) and it prompts me to input a password and I don't know what password is that (it's not PC password and not either the account password).

I searched on the internet and I saw that I can test that running "ssh -vT git@gitlab.cs.pub.ro" and it prompts me the following:

I tried to reinstall git, delete .ssh folder, delete the folder that I wanted to clone into. I also tried to regen another key, I followed the GitLab tutorial for key generation. Nothing from that worked.

mihai@barebone:~$ ls ~/.ssh
id_rsa  id_rsa.pub  known_hosts

I expected to easily push the files.

An RSA key with 4096 bit as a key size might not always be supported.

Try and create a default key, with:

ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -P ""

See if that key (with 1024 as a default size, and an old PEM format) is better supported.
