Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

Is my SSH key generated securely?

Yes, all key generation happens locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy.

What's the difference between RSA and Ed25519?

RSA is a widely compatible algorithm with larger key sizes (2048-4096 bits). Ed25519 is a modern algorithm with smaller keys (256 bits) that offers better performance and security.

Can I use a passphrase with my SSH key?

Yes, you can optionally add a passphrase to encrypt your private key. This adds an extra layer of security but requires entering the passphrase when using the key.

How do I use the generated SSH keys?

Copy the public key to your server's authorized_keys file and keep the private key secure on your local machine. Use the private key with SSH clients to authenticate.
