[I-18] Support for ECDSA Keys
I have keys using each of the 3 main algorithms, RSA, Ed25519 and ECDSA. While I do prefer to use Ed25519 everywhere it's supported, there are still (unfortunately) some services I currently have a n...
I was using the ECDSA key for my personal bitbucket account, since I can't use the same Ed25519 key as for my work account. This one is not a big problem though, since I just generated a secondary Ed25519 key in 1Password to use for the personal account, and configured my ssh config file accordingly.
The other one where I was using it is for an account I have with a web hosting service called asmallorange.com
When I ssh into my account and run ssh -V, it shows: OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013. This version was from before Ed25519 support was added to OpenSSH.
I tried adding a generating a new 2048 bit RSA key with 1Password and adding it to that service, but it doesn't work. The key works fine when I save the key to ~/.ssh/id_rsa. However, no matter what I do, I cannot get that same key to work directly from 1Password's ssh-agent.
