I think this would help tremendously. Added comment to OP requesting this information.

It's not enough to add the identity. There should be a file called config(no extension) in your C:\Users\{{username}}\.ssh directory.
You can define the key to use for a given host there like this:
Host myhost.name.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_keyfile_name
The result of correct configuration is a input request for a password:
Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/{{username}}/.ssh/my_keyfile_name':
