@ -2704,10 +2704,12 @@ This key must be in PuTTY's native format (\c{*.\i{PPK}}). If you have a
private key in another format that you want to use with PuTTY, see
\k{puttygen-conversions}.
If a key file is specified here, and \i{Pageant} is running (see
\k{pageant}), PuTTY will first try asking Pageant to authenticate with
that key, and ignore any other keys Pageant may have. If that fails,
PuTTY will ask for a passphrase as normal.
You can use the authentication agent \i{Pageant} so that you do not
need to explicitly configure a key here; see \k{pageant}. If a file
is specified here with Pageant running, PuTTY will first try asking
Pageant to authenticate with that key, and ignore any other keys
Pageant may have. If that fails, PuTTY will ask for a passphrase as
normal.
