Ssh with intellij only works with password

Whenever I ssh via intellij, with a password it works fine. But whenever I start using my key, it just fails.

Here is a video detailing the exact situation: http://youtu.be/gSycl4Jc-Ys

Whenever I use my password its cool, when i use my key, it just fails on me and says auth cancel or as above since I tried so many times that its failed too many times even though my terminal ssh works...?

It also fails if I go into tools and select start ssh session...

Very confused and would appreciate any help! Same happens if I go into tools and select start ssh session...

just tried to do sftp with macs built in sftp and it worked.

Well I figured it out, seems like intellij requires there be a passphrase on the ssh key file. It works now. I just generated a new key with a passphrase and everything worked. Just incase anyone else has the same problem as me I figured id answer as a Q&A.
