-
I am importing a droplet snapshot sent to me by a client, I chose SSH key as the auth method.
-
I went ahead to create the SSH key, pasted the pub key in the appropriate box, and selected it
-
The “create droplet” is still grayed out, with “To create Droplets that use SSH key authentication. you must select at least one key”
-
I tried password as well and got the same message (about passwords)
