      You currently cant authenticate from GitExtensions using putty based ssh authentication.

      This should be a base included feature, as most windows based Git developers are already using this due the simplicity of using pagent to cache credentials of the ssh key.

      The methods of caching the http password mentioned in the help are not satisfactory given one of them involves leaving you password in plain text on your file system.

            [BSERV-2698] Support putty based ssh authentication

            Hi,

            I have found a similar issue (Stash 2.2 and Git Extensions 2.44).

            Open SSH keys work but cannot get PuTTY keys to work.

            Cheers
            Mike

            What do you mean with 'putty based ssh authentication'?
            With the latest versions of GitExtensions (2.41) and Stash 1.3, you can connect your public key to your profile and load your private SSH key in the dialog Remotes -> Manage remote repositories.
