Bot password when running with jsub

Hi, I have a bot that I want to send to the grid with jsub. The bot changes files in the Hebrew Wiktionary and I supplied user-config.py with mylang='he' family = 'wiktionary' usernames['wiktionary']['he'] = u'dafna3.bot'

in the .err file I get:

 File "/data/project/he-wiktionary-rule-checker/hewiktionary_checker/rule_checker.py", line 361, in main

@Shavtay: It sounds like you need to setup a password file or some other means of passing your account's password to pywikibot. See mw:Manual:Pywikibot/login.py for some ideas. Personally I like using owner-only OAuth grants. The pywikibot setup for that is described at mw:Manual:Pywikibot/OAuth. --BryanDavis (talk) 19:31, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Why i cant add a new public ssh key?

I cant add a new SSH public key that start with ssh-rsa. Why? --Walter Klosse (talk) 17:59, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

@Walter Klosse: What error message did you get? Did your copy and paste of the key include any extra newlines? An SSH public key in the proper format will be a single long line that starts with ssh-rsa followed by a long base64 encoded string and optionally a label for the key. Opening a Phabricator task might be an easier way to work through your problem than this talk page. We would also be glad to try and help you figure out what is going wrong interactively in the #wikimedia-cloud ^connect irc channel. Use !help to get attention from an admin. --BryanDavis (talk) 23:23, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
