Trying to add my public ssh key to my account, I receive the message : "Someone has already added that SSH key"

I see that where other people have posted about this, Atlassian has removed details about account names and emails, but I can supply a couple of alternatives.    I did log in using my personal email but there were no keys listed, so it's not that one.   Possibly it's been added on my behalf at a company level, but git clone fatal fails.

Hi @Peter G_ Williams

Welcome to the community.

It is highly likely that the SSH key is already added to either as personal/workspace SSH key or from within a repository.

For that, the best I can suggest is to generate a new SSH key and add it again.
