# Generating a key
After installing ssh, we recommend generating an ECDSA (elliptic crypto key)
	ssh-keygen -t ECDSA
This will ask for a password to encrypt the private key.
**It is very very important that you save this password somewhere safe but easy to retrieve.  If you lose it, you will have to generate a new key pair**

	
This will put the public and private key in your `.ssh` folder
     id_ed25519      # your private key, password protected
	 id_ed25519.pub  # your public key
