What's Wrong?

After updating Claude Desktop to v1.2581.0.0 on Windows (MSIX), all SSH remote connections fail with "All configured authentication methods failed". This affects all existing SSH configs that worked perfectly before the update. No changes were made to server configuration or ssh_configs.json.

What Should Happen?

SSH remote connections should work as they did before the update. Password authentication to the remote server should succeed.

Error Messages/Logs

All configured authentication methods failed

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a working SSH remote connection configured in Claude Desktop (password authentication, custom port 20022)
  2. Update Claude Desktop to v1.2581.0.0 (Windows MSIX)
  3. Attempt to connect to any previously working SSH remote session
  4. "All configured authentication methods failed" error appears

Environment:

  • OS: Windows (MSIX installation)
  • Claude Desktop Version: 1.2581.0.0
  • SSH auth method: Password
  • SSH Port: 20022
  • All configs in ssh_configs.json are intact and correct
  • Issue started immediately after the Desktop app update
  • Connections that worked before update now all fail

extent analysis

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to revert to a previous version of Claude Desktop or wait for a patch, as the issue is a regression introduced in version 1.2581.0.0.

Guidance

  • Verify that the ssh_configs.json file is correctly formatted and that the password authentication method is properly configured.
  • Check if there are any other authentication methods available, such as public key authentication, that could be used as a temporary workaround.
  • Investigate if the disappearance of the option to delete existing SSH configurations from the UI is related to the authentication issue.
  • Consider reaching out to the developers or support team for further assistance, as this issue appears to be a regression introduced in a recent update.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not require a code-level fix.

Notes

The issue is specific to version 1.2581.0.0 of Claude Desktop on Windows (MSIX), and the exact cause is unknown. The disappearance of the option to delete existing SSH configurations from the UI may be related to the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Revert to a previous version of Claude Desktop if possible, or wait for a patch to be released that addresses this regression. This is because the issue is a regression introduced in a recent update, and reverting to a previous version or waiting for a patch is the most straightforward way to resolve the issue.
