#105 ssh key without comment is seemingly ignored

I tried adding my ssh key without the trailing comment (automation takes care of associating those with hosts/users, no need to write it in configs), however I got the following message:

Warning: Unable to automatically authenticate with server. Please make sure your SSH keys have been uploaded to the Nest.
For more information, please visit https://pijul.org/manual/the_nest/public_keys.html#ssh-public-keys
? Password for benaryorg@ssh.pijul.com ›

Changing the key as follows did fix the issue and let me log in.
