SSH does not work if the key is password-protected

[PP-Chris]

Unfortunately, when trying to use SSH keys, I get the error message "Failed Got remote connection. Ensure your repo is initialized, and check your connection to the Git host." when trying to connect to the repository. If I use a key without a password then everything works perfectly.

Would it be possible to add support for password protected SSH keys please?

SSH isn't a very tested path, as HTTPS authentication has much better support in LFS. Due to security concerns, we could only add support for an in-memory password option in source control settings.
