If you are using a GUI on the linux side there is probably an ssh-agent instance running, the first time you enter the password for a key it will save the key in memory for use again latter. If the key was not encrypted (ie., you don't need a password to use it) and it is in the right place it should just work.

If you setup ssh correctly there is no need to "sign in". You have failed to say exactly what you have done.

I needed to create my key pair on the wsl side and use that with copy_id over to the rasp pi. from there i just needed to sign in the one time and now i have a connection that doesn't require password authentication. | |
