there's a single public key associated with access to xps, ending with

   /m+bdjnFrDw5Fod8Sa9zDh2vXcICrNcxWGds2rbG3Q==

that should correspond to one of the public keys in your ~/.ssh/ 
directory. If not, resubmit the form with You can try

   ssh -v git at git.bioconductor.org

and try to diagnosis why this public key is not being matched; a 
possibility is FAQ #15 where git is choosing the wrong key

no, that doesn't look like an ssh key, it looks like a MAC address.

What's you're github user id? the link https://github.com/settings/keys 
is only useful to you. My public key is at https://github.com/mtmorgan.keys
