I’ve deleted an (old) second SSH key from https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/security. I still see it in ‘~/.ssh/authorized_keys’ file
I’ve added a new second SSH key through https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/security. I am unable to see it in ‘~/.ssh/authorized_keys’ file
Where are the changes happening? Is adding to/removing from ‘~/.ssh/authorized_keys’ file manually equivalent to this at all?

Hi!
Adding, removing, or modifying an SSH key in any way through the control panel does not affect any existing Droplets. The changes will take effect for new Droplets only.
While the droplet is being created, any selected SSH keys will be copied to
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
. Again, this is a one-time process, so you will need to SSH into your droplet and editauthorized_keys
using a text editor if you need to make any changes related to SSH keys for an existing Droplet.
