I'm still required to enter a passphrase even after setting ssh key

I added a ssh key to my droplet with Digitalocean.

Now I don't need to enter password to login to my server anymore, but this time I'm required to enter passphrase!

It doesn't bother me much as it is a lot shorted compare to a password, but still annoying.

And I also noticed that I need to enter passphrase for pushing change to Github as well.

Solution

The solution was to add ssh agent. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12195/how-to-avoid-being-asked-passphrase-each-time-i-push-to-bitbucket

I ran ssh-add on my macbook then I entered a passphrase.

Problem solved. I'm not required to enter a passphrase anymore with Digitalocean server login.
