Adding SSH keys

How to add SSH keys to your virt account

Why should you use SSH keys?

SSH keys provide cryptographic authentication that is significantly more secure than password-based logins. With key lengths of 2048 bits or more, SSH keys are virtually impossible to brute force, eliminating the risk of weak or compromised passwords.

Unlike passwords, SSH keys cannot be intercepted through network sniffing, keyloggers, or man-in-the-middle attacks. The cryptographic handshake process makes sure that even if traffic is monitored, attackers cannot replay or forge authentication attempts.

How to add SSH keys to your Virt account?

1. Go into the SSH Keys tab on Virt

Start by logging into our Virtualization Platform, and clicking on the SSH Keys button.

Then click on the Add Key button.

Afterward, enter the name of your SSH Key [1], and then paste in your public key into the Public Key [2] section.

Then click on the Save button.

And just like that, you have successfully added an SSH key into your Virt account!
