If you try and delete the directory: Delete C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Xamarin\MonoTouch

When you relaunch visual studio and it prompts for your Apple login info you need to use the login information for the user who is currently logged in on the Mac. If you use a different account then the current user it will fail.

  1. Close Visual Studio
  2. Delete C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Xamarin\MonoTouch
  3. Start Visual Studio

I fixed this problem by manually importing the public ssh key in MonoTouch folder into the authorized_keys on mac.
To do so :
1- Copy the content of 'id_rsa.pub' located in "%localAppData%/Xamarin/Monotouch"
2- In your MAC (assuming that it is running on a VM), go to "/Users//.ssh/Authorized_keys" Open the file, paste the key in a new line, save then close.
3- Now go back to your Visual Studio and try again, you'll be able to pair your macOS
Enjoy

Sounds like you may need to redirect that to your default .ssh key location. Mine on my Mac is ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Also blank out your SSH keys please, just for security.
