Unfortunately these SSH key types cannot work with age. I elaborated on this the first time I saw a user encounter this error in 2021 (str4d/rage#272 (comment)). At the time, I added an error message to rage for unsupported key types. Now that I've seen a second user encounter this problem (and now that there is a stable plugin to recommend), I'm going to add the following more specific error message in rage 0.10.0:

Error: Unsupported SSH key: 

Unsupported SSH Hardware Security Key
-------------------------------------
OpenSSH supports hardware security keys (such as YubiKeys). However, it
does so with a protocol that only allows for authentication, not encryption.
These key types therefore cannot be used with rage. This SSH key uses the
incompatible key type '[email protected]'.

If you have a compatible hardware security key, you should use this plugin:

https://str4d.xyz/age-plugin-yubikey

It implements a different protocol that doesn't conflict with OpenSSH. You
can have both types on the same device for a single signing-and-decryption
hardware security key (that will have a separate verification public key and
encryption recipient).
