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. | |

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? | |
