Jenkins SSH User with Passphrase on Windows Slave

My team's currently using a Jenkins master with four different slaves; linux, two macs, and windows.
For the git clone processes with source control (gitlab) on these slaves we're using ssh user defined with passphrase on jenkins credentials.

All of the slaves are able to use this user on cloning the repository process but Windows Slave, it's giving the following error:

stdout:
stderr: Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Have you tried to use a git client on your Windows Slave directly to clone your project? This might give you a clue. – RZet
That can't be tried because I'm giving the private key and passphrase on jenkins ssh user, if I try directly on slave it'll ask for [email protected] password which is meaningless – Canberk Ozcelik
This post should explain your problem, in particular the first comment: issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-20637 – RZet

The following worked for us, that might be the possible answer but after several tries, I've managed to get connect all slaves with SSH by using the keys generated from Windows Slave, thanks.
