The ssh-keygen does not accept such set of parameters (-t + -b + -C + -p). Anyway, I assume the point is that you have very very long passphrase (not "key"), right?

Re: error when trying to unlock private key

What version of WinSCP are you using? How did you generate the key? Can you generate a new test key that we can use to reproduce the problem?

Error when trying to unlock private key

With 2048 digit keys for the private key unlock password gives wrong password.
