Accessing Git from Assembla using SSH+RSA

I have just created a repository on Assembla using a Git repository and I have followed their "Getting started with Git" page :

1. I validated my git user.email and user.name. Since I'm also using the account on Github, the user.name are slightly different between the two accounts. (Can this be an issue?)
2. I generated my keys using ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "<email address>". Both email addresses are the same for Github and Assembla. Edit: and uploaded the .pub file into my Assembla profile.
3. Added the remote repository with git remote add origin :<repository name>
4. Made a commit and pushed to remote master.

The usual RSA asked me to accept and confirm the certificate, then Ubuntu warned me that the key is locked. I tried my sudo password, my Assembla password... nothing works; I cannot have access to the remote repository.

What's going on?

As a legacy to my Monday clumsiness, the answer is as dumb as :

The command ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "<email address>" asks for a passphrase. If a value is set, that passphrase is the value that must be entered to "unlock" the key.

Now facepalm, everybody!
