[Bug 1450843] [NEW] ssh-add should print error message when entered key password is wrong

 

Public bug reported:

Currently the user has to check `echo $?` to figure out that the key
hasn't been added and very likely assumes that it has been added in case
the password was wrong and the key couldn't be added with `ssh-add`.
