Hello, I have a droplet with SSH key.
My SSH and SFTP access work perfectly with Mac OSX Terminal and Transmit.
But for some reason SFTP does not work with PHPSTORM :
Error
Connection to 'ip_address' failed
SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT: 2 Too many authentication failures for root
Just regenerate with correct format:
-Open your private key in PuTTYGen
-Top menu “Conversions”->”Export OpenSSH key”.
-Save the new OpenSSH key when prompted.
-Restart machine maybe needed (in my case).

Thanks @cosminflo. Had the same issue issue using Laravel Homestead. Simply retyped my SSH password and hit Apply and BOOM!!!! Fixed :-)

I had this problem when I upgraded PHPStorm to 2016.1. It looks like the passphrase (encryption algorithm ?) is stored differently so it doesn't match.
I couldn't remember what passphrase I used at key creation, so I had to regenerate.
Hope this helps someone.
