How do I verify/check/test/validate my SSH passphrase?

Question

I think I forgot the passphrase for my SSH key, but I have a hunch what it might be. How do I check if I\'m right?

Answer 1

Use "ssh-keygen -p". You can add "-f "

It will prompt you for the old password. If the password is correct, it will prompt to enter a new password. If the old password is incorrect, you will get "Failed to load key <...>".
