A few days ago I was messing with my ubiquiti dream router and its ssh config option said the key should start with ssh-rsa ๐Ÿ™„

It probably accepts other key types and it's just the UI that's outdated. I doubt they're using an SSH implementation other than Dropbear or OpenSSH, and both support ed25519.

Could be stupid input validation which requires ^ssh-rsa

I thought this might be the case, but haha, nope!
