SSH failing on macOS Sierra
•
1 min read
For me, upgrading to MacOS Sierra broke a lot of things that use SSH, including Transmit, Sequel Pro, and a handful of other apps. In fact, it seems to break any app that uses an SSH key with a passphrase. 🤔
The solution I found was to tell SSH to use the MacOS keychain. Simply edit ~/.ssh/config
and add the following (you can safely create the file if it doesn't exist):
Host *
UseKeychain yes
That's it! I didn't even have to restart SSH and everything is connecting fine again. 💪
