BUG: Private key asking for passphrase when shouldn't

Yesterday I was using Termius just fine... this morning (8/13/18) it updated to v3.0.4 and now all of a sudden, I'm being asked for a passphrase when I use a private key. Using the same key on Putty connects successfully.

Your software offers no option for rollback so now it is completely useless to me.

    I know a hack - Enter your Mac User Password instead of the passphrase :D I accidentally did and it worked :D

    This bug is still occurring every single day... Terminus 4.1.2, OS X High Sierra 10.13.6

    "Work-around" is to edit the host, remove key, re-attach key... probably not worth subscribing until this bug is fixed.

    it's all good now!
    at first i thought it(private key field) was the key path,
    i just copied my-key.pem content to the private key field then it works, its stupid of me
    thankyou so much

    Hello,

    To use private keys for connections just add it to your keychain as in this doc: docs.termius.com/termius-handbook/keychain and
    then attach it to a host you are using to connect as in this doc: docs.termius.com/termius-handbook/hosts

    If you are still having the issue, please, generate a testing public and private key pair and send it to our support: team@termius.com Please, use the latest 4.7 Termius version during the tests.

    This has been happening for me since I started using Termius (I forget which version, but I'm using 4.1.2 on OS X Mojave at the time of this post). Is it fixed in the Premium version? I would subscribe for that reason alone - an option to not have it ask for a password when a key is used.

    Thank you.

    I'm also experiencing this bug in version 3.3.5 (Mac).

    I'm using an rsa key (without passphrase) to connect to hosts in a group. I've specified which key to use at the group level.

    I can connect if any random string into the passphrase box, but the unnecessary pop up is quite frustrating.

    This key works without a passphrase if I connect using a local terminal.

    Android phone: Xiaomi MI MAX
    Android version: 7.0
    Termius app version: 3.3.37
    Continuously requesting passphrase, could not connect.

    Mac Os version (3.3.5) for the same key and server works correctly.

    The same for me on v3.3.5, it asks for a passphrase to login which not exists.
