Accepting new SSH key (only for some users with existing repository)

Some users will see the following message when they want to make a remote connection with SSH. (existing repository) When you see the below message you will need to accept the new key.

$ Warning: the ECDSA host key for 'smlgitlab.socsci.ru.nl' differs from the key for the IP address 'x.x.x.x'
$ Offending key for IP in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:23 Matching host key in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:13
