Oct 15, 2023 at 21:52 comment added mmmmmm If you are using 1password 8 then you can store your ssh keys in it developer.1password.com/docs/ssh . Thus use 1password on both machines. But note the encrypted data wioll be stored on 1passwords servers which should be secure enough but I can image cases where that external storage would not be accepted.

Feb 5, 2021 at 19:47 comment added negacao That is your public key, not your private key. The private one should start with a line -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----. You will need the private key to authenticate to those remote systems. There is a good explanation of public vs private keys here: ssh.com/ssh/public-key-authentication
Feb 5, 2021 at 19:43 comment added Loosie94 @negacao The key is stored like: ssh-rsa - Code - Macbook name. I can still add it to several systems, but just don't know how to add it to my own Mac..
Feb 5, 2021 at 13:45 comment added nohillside Basically you can copy your old id_rsa/id_rsa.pub files from your old Mac. If you have lost either of them, create a new pair and copy the pub key to the sites you want to log in to.
Feb 5, 2021 at 13:34 comment added negacao How is your ssh key stored in 1Password? Is it a file there, a blob of text in a note field, etc?
Feb 5, 2021 at 13:21 comment added Loosie94 I wish, but unfortunately my old one isn't working anymore..
