→Switching to SSH keypair authentication:
# On your Linux VM as a regular user, generate your SSH keypair (accept all defaults): <code>ssh-keygen</code>
# Install the new keys on the system: <code>ssh-copy-id -p 22222 localhost</code>
# Using FileZilla on your personal computer, log into the Linux VM and download your new public keyto your personal computer:
#* On Windows, store the downloaded key here: <code>C:\Users\[yoursenecaid]\.ssh\</code>
#* On Mac, store the downloaded key here: <code>~/.ssh/</code>, then run the following command: <code>chmod 700 ~/.ssh; chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa*</code>
# With a second terminal, verify that you can login to your VM's SSH from your personal computer without a password (keypair authentication). Do not move on to the next step until you’re sure.
#* Login the same way as before. '''If you aren't asked for a password, then keypair authentication has succeeded.'''
