[Bug 3535] New: Permission denied error message is unclear
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3535

Bug ID: 3535
Summary: Permission denied error message is unclear
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 9.1p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows 10
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: unassigned-bugs@mindrot.org
Reporter: edward.miller@mesirow.com

If I try to connect to a server without passing a valid passphrase for
my key, it says "Permission denied (publickey)"

This message is very vague and unhelpful. I suggest at least appending
a suggestion, like "Did you specify the correct passphrase, if needed?"
