Describe when someone would need this information. For example "when connecting to wi-fi for the first time".

Step-by-step guide

Add the steps involved:

  1. From the Terminal or Git Bash, run ssh-keygen
  2. Confirm the default path .ssh/id_rsa
  3. Enter a passphrase (recommended) or leave it blank.
    Remember this passphrase, as you will need it to unlock the key whenever you use it.
  4. Open ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and copy & paste the contents into the box below, then click on "Add".
    Note that id_rsa.pub is your public key and can be shared, while id_rsa is your private key and should be kept secret.

 

Once you upload an SSH key it will be used on newly created server instance for authentication.

Please follow the format of SSH key: [key-type] [key] [user-identifier]
