[Bug] Remember ssh key passphrase

[Schueni1]

App Version: 1.9

Since version 1.9 the "Remember passphrase" feature for the ssh key is not working anymore.

After pulling down two or three times to synchronise the remote git repo I get asked for the ssh passphrase.

Please do not remove the issue template when reporting bugs, it makes things harder than they need to be :(

I just automated 50 sync operations and was never prompted for my passphrase, please update the issue with reliable reproduction steps as mentioned in the bug report template.

Not OP, but probably related:
My ssh key has no passphrase. Since 1.9.0, I am prompted to set a passphrase or leave the textfield empty on each sync.
If I leave it empty (i.e. don't set a passphrase), syncing works. However, the "remember passphrase" flag doesn't seem to be honored on an empty passphrase, because I'm prompted again on each sync.

That's very helpful, thanks!

@moppman Do you know how you generated your key? I cannot reproduce this with a key with no passphrase generated directly within Password Store, but it might very well happen with imported key files in other formats.

@FabianHenneke I generated my key via ssh-keygen from the openssh-client Debian package and then imported it into Password Store.

Okay, I should be able to reproduce this then. Which key type are you using and when did you generate the key approximately (this year, five years ago,...)?
