Mac getting private passphrase prompt

Version: 1.0.183 Platform: macOS x64 18.7.0 Plugins: none Frontend: xterm

I have 2 ssh remotes. I can connect to both using ssh [email protected] in terminal When I try to connect in tabby I get a prompt for a private passphrase. I don't really know what that is. I've never been asked to create one. At this point tabby is unusable.

I have never encountered this on windows or on Fedora.

What am I missing? Thank you

Tabby uses the OS password storage to store passwords and intl this case is asking for access to your macOS keychain to check for a saved connection password. It does the same on Windows and Linux, but those don't require the user to confirm access.
