You should generate your keys using SSH, maybe Putty has an option. You can't use any random key for SSH. It has to be in a form and crypto algorithm that SSH understands.

I'm using #1Password and #OpenSSH in #WindowsTerminal here on #Windows11 to connect to my #RaspberryPi. I need an easier way to work with files, though, so I'm trying to set up #WinSCP. I've exported my key from 1Password in both formats available. I noticed it didn't have a file extension so added .pem to the name. No matter what I do, WinSCP won't take the key. Neither would #PuTTY when I tried it. Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Anyone else who thinks they might be able to help is welcome to reply too.

I generated a key using 1Password, and it worked well there and on my Raspberry Pi. I just couldn't get it to work anywhere else.
I'm curious, why do you want to use a closed source application for your security? IMO that comprises your setup in a completely unbounded manner. You essentially rely on what the company claims the software does. That shouldn't be acceptable if you are securing really critical information.
