| Sep 23, 2023 at 5:58 | comment | added | reim | Curiously enough, when removing the default inherited system and administrator group permissions on Windows 11, they reappear once the file is moved again - at least, this is happening with a file from the WSL mount. | |

| Apr 13, 2022 at 16:51 | comment | added | prinkpan | Such a simple solution by @J.Gwinner works beautifully by moving file to OneDrive location. | |
| Mar 13, 2022 at 22:06 | comment | added | Sovattha Sok | It worked for me. I had to pay attention to selecting the correct username (I have many on my PC). As a side note, ticking "full control" is not needed, I managed to use my SSH key with just "read" access. | |
| Mar 7, 2022 at 22:10 | comment | added | J. Gwinner | Moving the .pem file to a OneDrive location worked perfectly for me - easy, and now I have a cloud backup :) It does do all of the above permissions changes. I'd add this as a new answer, as it seems so simple, but would rather comment and upvote yours so my little answer isn't lost in the shuffle. | |

This did not work for me. After setting the permissions as described I get the exact same error, so I also tried sudo chmod 400 id_rsa and it still gives the same error. This is such a stupid check. At this point I am the only person who can access the file but ssh-keygen still refuses to work just because of how it retrieves the file permissions.

Wasn't working for me on windows, was the same error still after setting these permissions, both trying with windows GUI and with chmod, then I just did sudo and all was fine

| Feb 11, 2020 at 23:26 | comment | added | Sergio Prats | Thanks a lot! This worked while everything on the internet had failed me until now. | |
| Nov 29, 2019 at 12:15 | comment | added | Kuronashi | Stupid, i don't have the permessions to do that..-_- | |
| Feb 10, 2019 at 21:17 | comment | added | stackers | How do you "change the owner to yourself", what do I type in? It doesn't accept my username or name or windows live email or anything. | |
| Dec 20, 2018 at 20:57 | comment | added | Liam Mitchell | Why is this so difficult on windows, can someone just add a --ignore-stupid-rule command option? | |
| Sep 4, 2018 at 8:25 | comment | added | Aaron Bramson | Actually, I did that and it still complains that 0777 permissions are too open. | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 9:53 | comment | added | iBug | @DylanB Why'd you put credentials on a removable drive? (In fact, that tab is available only on NTFS filesystems - you can format your drive into NTFS easily). | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 8:11 | comment | added | Dylan B | IF the key file is on Thumb Drive / Flash disk, that Security tab is not available! | |
