I am trying to create a new droplet with ssh login. I used ssh-keygen to create a new key and copied the public key to the prompt but I am getting Something went wrong error when I try to sumbit it.
How can I resolve this issue.

×Hi @bktotient,
You need to add the public part of your SSH key. The public part of your SSH key can be usually found in /root/.ssh/idrsa.pub. Notice the .pub extension, this means it’s the public part. You have an idrsa file as well, this is the private part.
