Okay, let's think of a few things off the top of my head..

The file you want to put the pubkey in should be
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys - note the spelling.
The pubkey should be on one line only, avoid terminal-caused line breaks
when pasting.
Does your pubkey have a passphrase? If so, is it that that you're being
prompted for?
