How to clone a private repository from gitlab?

Question

GitLab

I am working with Gitlab for the first time, before that there were no such problems with GitHub.
there is a clone command

git clone [email protected]:sqsqsqsqs/sqsqsqsqsq-dev.git ~/sqsqsqsq-dev

I run on Windows as an administrator and try to clone and in response I get

[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.      

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

The owner gave me access to the repository and I can download it in zip format, but why can't I download it like this,
do I need ssh keys? It seems that I also logged in to Gitlab through GitHub.

Answer 1

ssh keys are needed?

They are the most needed.
Generate an SSH key locally and enter the public part in the web interface.
