Good advise. This happenned to me. By luck I had another account I could use to recover. I wish I could disable that feature. I use config now but the default should not be to try every key in ssh directory.

Agreed. That seems like a weakness in OpenSSH. One should have to turn on a "try all keys" option to get that behaviour ..

Yeah, it's on by default. See IdentitiesOnly to turn it off.
