Same issue here. Error 101. It's the same using private key with or without passphrase.
Can only connect with user/pass but really want to disable it.

Looks like the SSH key in this format is not accepted:

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
b3BlbnNzaC1rZXktdjEAAAAABG5vbmUAAAAEbm9uZQAAAAAAAAABAAACFwAAAAdzc2gtcn
...
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Does it require another format?

If SSH key is not supported at all, I'd suggest removing it from the input label to avoid confusion.

Didn't work with ssh-keygen.
Works with ssh-keygen -t ecdsa
