SSH Fingerprint Cannot Be Generated - Another solution
Hi, Something I just found that wasn't discussed in other threads.
Some background: I'm generating keys on a virtualbox mac running on my windows PC (xcode - I hate it). I kept getting the above "fingerprint" error when trying to set the key up in gitlab.
As well as hidden newlines, etc, I kept seeing spaces in the key. I just deleted these, thinking they were also inserted by the copy-paste website i was using to get the key from mac to PC. However, they should actually have been plus-signs (+). I replaces those spaces with +, and it worked fine. The website was decoding the text incorrectly.
There should only be two spaces: one after ssh-rsa, and one before your email address at the end.
Hope that helps someone in future!
Regards, Andy
