The problem still persists with 2.7.3 - if you use ask_password, you still get
ERROR: unexpected error - Passphrase must be specified to import encrypted private keys if your key is encrypted. It also does not work if you ssh-added your key.

Downgrading to 2.5.4 solves the issue with the ssh agent for me.

@Paffciu Oh, that was fast! Thanks for the quick fix :slight_smile: (However, I’ll have to wait until next week before trying it.)
