    I recently hardened all my ssh keys by switching to the new OpenSSH format from the more compatible PEM format.

    Is there any way to make these work with this plugin?

    Relevant excerpt from man ssh-keygen:

    -o Causes ssh-keygen to save SSH protocol 2 private keys using the new OpenSSH format rather than the more compatible PEM format. The new format has increased resistance to brute-force password cracking but is not supported by versions of OpenSSH prior to 6.5. Ed25519 keys always use the new private key format.
