Multiple SSH keys via Edit Pod option

I understand I need to separate public keys by newlines. However pasting in SSH keys separated by newlines via Edit Pod-> Environment Variables doesn't seem to allow two people to connect simultaneously. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, thanks in advance!
Solution:
Either that or simply manually add the SSH keys to the authorized_keys file which is much simpler.

Depends on your template, some templates don't add it to the authorized_keys file correctly. Which template are you using?

RunPod official templates should add it correctly, unless that template hasn't been rebuilt since the start.sh script was updated to support multiple keys.

It's been shut on and off multiple times. How would a newline reflect in the Edit Pod section? It didn't really seem to show up when I copy-pasted 2 SSH keys with a newline in between

I thought RunPod fixed this in their official templates, but apparently not: https://github.com/runpod/containers/blob/main/container-template/start.sh#L29
