Your identification has been saved in C:\Users\myuser/.ssh/id_ed25519.
Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.Įnter file in which to save the key (C:\Users\myuser/.ssh/id_ed25519):Įnter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): I did not enter a passphrase (not recommended). If you specify the password, you will have to enter it each time you use this key for SSH authentication. You will be prompted to provide a password to protect the private key. Currently, it is recommended to use ED25519 instead of RSA keys.
By default, the ssh-keygen tool generates RSA 2048 keys.
