            Bug ID: 2762
           Summary: wishlist: VisualUserKey
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.5p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: nfc17284 at vornet.cz

It would be nice to have VisualUserKey option that would have the same
effect as VisualHostKey but would show randomart for the user key I'm
using to connect.

Not really a security improvement I guess, but in situations where I
have more than one key and I should be using different key for
different host, developing sense of how my key "looks like" could make
it easier to see possible problems with my configuration (eg. why my
key is being refused?).
