That'd be the change I meant. Apple did something with ssh; possibly
including breaking its keychain integration :/
I haven't moved to Sierra, but apparently what they did was to remove the
automatic reloading of your passphrase from the keychain.
First, even though you may have forgotten your old passphrases, as far as
I know they should still be available in the keychain; I don't believe the
upgrade to Sierra should have deleted any keychain entries.
In the "Keychain Access" app, look for an entry with a name like "SSH:
/Users/<username>/.ssh/id_rsa" (assuming that is the name of your SSH
keyfile) If you click on "Show password" and authenticate, it should show
the passphrase that you stored in your keychain in an earlier version of
MacOS.
Here's some more information on what has happened
<https://openradar.appspot.com/27348363>
The reports say (I cannot test them because I'm not running Sierra) that
you can reload the identities whose passphrases are stored in your
keychain into your ssh-agent by using the
ssh-add -A
command.
