The problem arose because my normal approach to getting my public key from new Machine A to old Machine B is, once and once only, to use password-authentication to move the public key. I raised the issue here, even though I have alreadly worked around it, in case there were others for whom public-key was unfamiliar or otherwise problematic, and, frankly, because it seems like a bug, and if Microsoft succeeds in moving more people to using PINs for login, it will surely begin to bite others... ht -- Henry S.
