2. copy and paste everything in the field/box under "Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file" to notepad and save it as "authorized_keys"

Notepad is the most likely problem. It uses the Windows format for end-of-line characters (CR-LF). I'm pretty sure that authorized_keys needs to be in the Unix format which uses only a line-feed for EOL. Try an editor such as
Notepad++.
Before saving the file, go to Edit > EOL Conversion and select "Unix Format".
