Hi folks,
I'm using the Pi Imager on Windows 10. Under "OS Customisations" I've checked the "Allow public key authentication only" box, and get a data field headed "Set authorised keys for (HostName)".
I've got a pre-existing Public Key that I want to use. Should I be able to paste it into this field? Because I can't. I can drop my cursor into that field, but no ability to right-click and paste a key from elsewhere. The only option seems to be to click the "Run SSH-KEYGEN" button to generate a new key, but that's not what I want.
Is this the designed behaviour? Or am I missing something depressingly obvious? It seems strange for there to be no ability to use pre-existing keys.....
Thanks!
Johno
