I suspect your message "If you use SSH authentication, check that your key is added to the ssh-agent and associated with your account." is part of the following error dialog box:

error

Try and add your ssh key again: ssh-add /path/to/key

If not, check desktop/desktop issue 8860

Check the GitHub Desktop logs: Help > Show Logs in Finder (macOS) or Explorer (Windows).

Check if signing out/back in from GitHub Desktop is enough.

This answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/29380765/2849383 saved my entire life. Try the following

$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
$ ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

If you have a SSH key with a passphrase it will not work with GitHub Desktop. Recreate a new SSH key with no passphrase. This litteraly saved my hole miserable life.
