[SOLVED] Problem with SSH key on another DE

Hello every one! Let me ask for your help please. I use two working environments Budgie with gnome soft and i3wm. On a working environment with Budgie, everything works fine. ssh keys automatically autostarted and i can use putty or filezilla for my some vps servers. I use selective authorization only on the public key ssh in the settings by /etc/ssh/sshd_config on my servers.
But this only works on the Budgie desktop. In i3wm DE, only the - ssh user@ip command works. If I try to run a putty, I get a notification - No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey) Of course, Filezilla doesn't work either.
I thought that maybe the problem is that I did not register the automatic loading of the ssh daemon in the config. I started looking for how to do this and found several methods like

eval $(ssh-agent)
ssh-add

but it doesn't work!
Prior to that, I had a problem with GPG keys for Chrome in i3wm DE. And i fixed that with add command

exec --no-startup-id /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=keyring,gpg,pkcs11,secrets,ssh

But that's strange. Why it works on GPG keys, but not on SSH keys.
Can you help me? What i'm doing wrong?

That is the explanation. Gnome uses its own keyring daemon. if you don't use that, you'll have to set up something else. I don't know what works with putty or filezilla, never used them on Linux.

Well... How then to launch gnome-keyring in i3wm, if command line exec --no-startup-id /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=keyring,gpg,pkcs11,secrets,ssh won't work with SSH key only? GPG keys works fine. What prevents this?

I read the manual and it helped me, the problem was in the wrong code line. In the beginning it was necessary to write eval $ and export SSH_AUTH_SOCK

eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
