An error occurred while scanning the ssh key when trying to switch heroku accounts

Question

I often need to switch hero accounts and use a script that does the following:

heroku keys:clear && rm ~/.heroku/credentials && heroku list 

after which I need to enter my credentials for the account I want to switch to:

 Enter your Heroku credentials. Email: [e-mail] Password: Uploading ssh public key /Users/fake/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ! Fingerprint already exists. Please use one ssh key per Heroku account 

unfortunatelly, I can not get through this error.

any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

delete heroku credentials

rm ~ / .heroku / credentials

And then download the key manually

heroku keys: add ~ / .ssh / otheraccount.pub

Enter your Heroku credentials and there it is!

Answer 2

Do not use the same ssh key for multiple accounts. Use one ssh key for one account.

Answer 3

Oddly enough, I could solve the problem: cleaning keys, deleting credentials, switching to other accounts and back.
