| - | * The type of the key. Currently, this can be ''RSA'', ''DSA'', ''NIST'' (an ECDSA key), ''Ed25519'', ''Ed448'', or ''SSH-1'' (an RSA key for use with the deprecated SSH-1 protocol, not supported by WinSCP). (If the key has an associated certificate, this is shown here with a ''cert'' suffix. //-- Only available in Pageant 0.78 included with latest beta version only//) &beta | + | * The type of the key.

| - | * The fingerprint for the public key. This should be the same fingerprint given by [[ui_puttygen|PuTTYgen]], and also the same fingerprint shown by remote utilities such as ''ssh-keygen'' when applied to your ''authorized_keys'' file. \\ By default this is shown in the SHA-256 format. You can change to the older MD5 format (which looks like ''aa:bb:cc:...'') with the //Fingerprint type// drop-down, but bear in mind that this format is less secure and should be avoided for comparison purposes where possible. \\ If some of the keys loaded into Pageant have certificates attached, then Pageant will default to showing the fingerprint of the underlying key. This way, a certified and uncertified version of the same key will have the same fingerprint, so you can see that they match. You can instead use the //Fingerprint type// drop-down to ask for a different fingerprint to be shown for certified keys, which includes the certificate as part of the fingerprinted data. That way you can tell two certificates apart. &beta_feature | + | * The fingerprint for the public key.
