You will be prompted to supply a filename (for saving the key pair) and a password (for protecting your private key):.To generate RSA keys, on the command line, enter: Log into the computer you'll use to access the remote host, and then use command-line SSH to generate a key pair using the RSA algorithm.To set up public key authentication using SSH on a Linux or macOS computer:

Set up public key authentication using SSH on a Linux or macOS computer For help, see Get started with Two-Step Login (Duo) at IU and Help for Two-Step Login (Duo). If you have questions about how two-factor authentication may impact your workflows, contact the UITS Research Applications and Deep Learning team. SSH public key authentication remains an option for researchers who submit the "SSH public key authentication to HPS systems" agreement (log into HPC everywhere using your IU username and passphrase), in which you agree to set a passphrase on your private key when you generate your key pair. Two-factor authentication using Two-Step Login (Duo) is required for access to the login nodes on IU research supercomputers, and for SCP and SFTP file transfers to those systems. Therefore, you must either be able to log into the remote system with an established account username and password/passphrase, or have an administrator on the remote system add the public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file in your account. You need to be able to transfer your public key to the remote system.
