title: Unable to connect to Google Compute Engine using "in browser" SSH
body: <p>After changing two passwords, root and the default user, suddenly we notice now that the "in browser" link on Google Compute Engine fails to connect via SSH. </p>
  
  <p>Strangely, however, if we use the SSH command from the command line that Google provides (i.e. $ gcloud compute ssh VM-NAME --zone VM-ZONE) - SSH works. </p>
  
  <p>It appears SSH is working - but the "in browser" SSH link no longer connects. What might have gone wrong and how do we fix this?</p>
  
  <p>ADDENDUM: 
  Of note, a commenter below suggests it is not related to passwords but purely SSH keys - so it looks the answer to this question might rest around if there is a way to regenerate SSH keys on GCE instances. We are searching. If anyone knows code to regenerate SSH keys for GCE please post. </p>
