Key Based Authentication in SSH

March 5, 2010 Posted by KP

I just changed my SSH authentication from password to key-based. If you are using password authentication, I strongly suggest you change it, it’s a must, the setup is also very easy, there is no any reasons you don’t do this. With all kinds of buggy programs and scripts, our servers are much much weaker than we thought.

There are many tutorials online. I don’t want to re-write it here, just a reminder: after you finish the configuration, make sure to test the login before you close your current terminal.
