error in "Git Security: SSH Keys" lab

Related to "Git Security: SSH Keys", within Step #3 of the Lab, the SSH Private Key is pasted into the Metrolio User account, but it generates an error message each time. It works for others when they follow the exact same steps but not for me, so I can't proceed.  I have tried with both FireFox and Chrome multiple times.  Do you have any tips to overcome this?

    Happy to try and help you here! If you're seeing a message that starts "Can not verify your SSH key", it might be that you're not copying the whole of your key into the field. You should copy the entire contents of the public key file into the Content field - it'll end up looking something like this if you've created an RSA key: 

    If you're still seeing errors, would you be able to screenshot that field and the error message and share it with me?

    Hi ImreSolymosi thanks for sharing your query with the community. I can see that there have been lots of recent completions of this lab, which would suggest that it is working as expected, so I hope a community member is willing to share some peer support in this case...

    In the meantime I will raise it with the lab author for a potential hint!
