1Password Team@mstrzele Hello! Apologies for the late response! We recently improved the error messages when attempting to import an unsupported key. Previously, a key with an encrypted key with an unsupported public exponent (less than 65537) would report an incorrect passphrase error. However, it now reports the correct error.
Are you able to update to the latest version and try again? You can check the public exponent on your key with:
openssl rsa -text -in id_rsa | grep publicExponent
Let me if this was the issue. Cheers!
