If they are not on your keyboard then how are you going to logon in an emergency?

allways I use "passphrase":

only when I config/setup server I use password, after I run:

Code: Select all

ssh-keygen -i -f /folder_options/public_key >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 400 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 400 /root/.ssh
rm -f /folder_options/public_key

allways I save the files "PRIVATE_key" in my laptop

then really I only use login with password when I connect with WinSCP and this store PASS into config file.

SSH keys are a recommended method of authentication. In fact, root should not be allowed to ssh in at all, or at most with ssh keys.

However, if you ever need to type password, then it should be such that you can type it.
