macOS 10.13.6 ssh Keys Get Removed Randomly

Using ssh-keygen, I generated an ssh key. I did not use a passphrase. I added the identity with ssh-add so I didn't have to enter credentials every time I used the key. I have regularly used these ssh keys over the past few months.



Every few weeks, I'm prompted for credentials when I use ssh, and have to re-add the ssh key in order to avoid that.



Does anyone have any suggestions?
