Solution 1:^[1]

I had the same issue in the past, Please try with the below command which explicitly specifies which key to use.

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa azureuser@yourpublicip

where .ssh/id is the key that you generated

generate new public key

ssh-keygen

display key to add to azure

ssh-agent sh -c 'ssh-add; ssh-add -L'

then in azure add the new key Virtual machines > Reset password > Reset SSH public key

done.
