git@bitbucket.org: Permission denied (publickey) in windows

Question

It used to work and all of a sudden stop working. I have changed my keys couple of times as well but nothing is working. I have created a config file as well. I ran this command ssh -t -vvv git@bitbucket.org here is the dump from it OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1, LibreSSL 3.0.2 debug1: Reading configuration data C:\Users\yburhani/.ssh/config debug1:

I figured it out. My git was updated recently and lost the connection to ssh.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi @Yunus Burhani

Could you please confirm if the SSH key generated earlier is the one you are using and if the public key has been added to your Bitbucket account? Ensuring that all steps outlined in our guide have been properly followed is important. Please see below for the guide:

I have this file in the correct place

debug1: identity file C:\Users\yburhani/.ssh/id_ed25519

I do not have these files as it should not be using certs

debug3: Failed to open file:C:/Users/yburhani/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert error:2
debug3: Failed to open file:C:/Users/yburhani/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert.pub error:2

I changed my config file to give full path

IdentityFile C:\Users\yburhani/.ssh/id_ed25519

It used to be

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Still did not work
