I enter the passphrase *and* tick the box to ask Keychain to remember my passphrase. After that, I can successfully log into the remote system, but there is a message: "Could not add identity: /Users/my_username/.ssh/id_rsa”.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I can continue to log into the remote system without entering again the passphrase. However, once I completely log out of my Mac and re-log into my Mac, the terminal does not remember my passphrase anymore.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">After googling around, it seems that the Mac native SSH has added a new SSH keyword “UseKeychain”, while the MacPorts version does not have this keyword and is having problem talking to Keychain.
