Re: Here we go again! 2FA vs Gitlab instructions.

Oh well. I have a ssh-agent running.  I am using Git Bash on a W11 machine.

$ ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

BTW.  I am also trying to get SourceTree to work.  I have Pageant running
with my keys loaded.

I noticed that I do not have my most recent public key loaded on Gitlab
(but it has two old ones that *shoould* still work).  But the site does not
understand (and* I do not fuc*ing understand*) the format in which the key
should be pasted in there.

I generated the key with Pageant and the file contains what you see in the
screenshots.

I apologize for the tone, but I really really believe that both Github and
Gitlab have gone way off on a tangent with all of this.  Especially because
they have not gone back to git to improve the messaging.

All the best

Marco
