Disclaimer : I am absolute noob in terms of SSH kind of stuffs.

I maded a SSH key on ConnectBot app on android.I still have password of that key.I got a private and public key.I shared public key with tildes for making accounts.Now they know me by my that key but I want to login by termux. On termux I installed openssh and tried to login it says that authentication failed.

So I just need to backup keys from connected bot and restore on termux and my PC . Will it work ? How to do it? Will making a new pair of keys using same pass and name will work?

I did not got anything regarding this on searches

    According to the ConnectBot issue tracker, it’s not possible to retrieve the private key that it created. You’ll have to make a new key pair, and share the new public key with tildes. The keys are randomly-generated, so the new pair will be different, regardless of whether you use the same password.
