Secure all your accounts with the lightweight and easy to use Key Generator KeyGen tool. All you need to do is choose the password length and what elements you want to include in your password, and click the Generate button. The system will generate a unique password, and you can copy and paste it wherever you need.
Creating a strong password is one of the most important ways to secure your accounts and keep them private. Unfortunately, people have a tendency to reuse passwords or create simple passwords like sequential numbers, birthdates, or their home address.

Once the public key has been configured on the server, the server will allow any connecting user that has the private key to log in. During the login process, the client proves possession of the private key by digitally signing the key exchange. A connection to the agent can also be forwarded when logging into a server, allowing SSH commands on the server to use the agent running on the user's desktop. For more information on using and configuring the SSH agent, see the ssh-agent page.
The tool is also used for creating host authentication keys. Host keys are just ordinary SSH key pairs. Each host can have one host key for each algorithm. The host keys are almost always stored in the following files:.
The host keys are usually automatically generated when an SSH server is installed. They can be regenerated at any time. However, if host keys are changed, clients may warn about changed keys. Changed keys are also reported when someone tries to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. Thus it is not advisable to train your users to blindly accept them. Changing the keys is thus either best done using an SSH key management tool that also changes them on clients, or using certificates.
OpenSSH does not support X. Tectia SSH does support them. They also allow using strict host key checking, which means that the clients will outright refuse a connection if the host key has changed. OpenSSH has its own proprietary certificate format, which can be used for signing host certificates or user certificates.
For user authentication, the lack of highly secure certificate authorities combined with the inability to audit who can access a server by inspecting the server makes us recommend against using OpenSSH certificates for user authentication. However, OpenSSH certificates can be very useful for server authentication and can achieve similar benefits as the standard X. However, they need their own infrastructure for certificate issuance. See more information on certificate authentication.
It is easy to create and configure new SSH keys. In the default configuration, OpenSSH allows any user to configure new keys.
The keys are permanent access credentials that remain valid even after the user's account has been deleted. In organizations with more than a few dozen users, SSH keys easily accumulate on servers and service accounts over the years. We have seen enterprises with several million keys granting access to their production servers. It only takes one leaked, stolen, or misconfigured key to gain access. In any larger organization, use of SSH key management solutions is almost necessary.
SSH keys should also be moved to root-owned locations with proper provisioning and termination processes. For more information, see how to manage SSH keys. Practically all cybersecurity regulatory frameworks require managing who can access what. SSH keys grant access, and fall under this requirement.
