Did you mean: 

getting error: Someone has already registered this as an account SSH key.

Hi all, 

Getting the following message every-time i am trying to enter a new key. 

Now I have full control over this account. I know for a fact there are zero keys even tied to this bitbucket. Also one of the keys I am trying to tie to bitbucket was a server that was literally just created. so there is no way someone could have used that key already... 

I am using laravel Forge to provision my servers - trying to enter forge key - along with my personal keys. and keep getting the same error. 

Am I missing something? 

Thanks in advance.

If you have the private key associated with the public key that you're trying to add, run this:

ssh -i /path/to/key -T git@bitbucket.org

It should respond with something like this:

logged in as [whichever user is already using that key].

You can use git or hg to connect to Bitbucket. Shell access is disabled.
