Does SSH key include email?
I've created an RSA keypair that I used for SSH, and it includes my email address. (At the end of the public key.) That part of an ssh key is just a comment. You can change it to anything you want at any time.
Is Ed25519 better than RSA?
Ed25519 is probably the strongest mathematically (and also the fastest), but not yet widely supported. At least 256 bits long. RSA is the best bet if you can't use Ed25519. At least 3072 bits long.
Can I have two SSH keys?
For instance, you can run an Organization's GitHub account and another one for your personal projects all on the same computer. In this article, you will learn how to use multiple SSH keys for different GitHub accounts. While working with two different GitHub accounts, you must set them up using an SSH key.
What does SSH-keygen do?
Ssh-keygen is a tool for creating new authentication key pairs for SSH. Such key pairs are used for automating logins, single sign-on, and for authenticating hosts.
How do you get the 2048 rsa key in Linux?
Run ssh-keygen command. $ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair. ssh-keygen will generate a 2048 bit rsa key pair if no option is specified. You can change the key's bit size and type by using -b and -t options respectively as the following example.
What is GitHub email address?
GitHub uses the email address set in your local Git configuration to associate commits pushed from the command line with your account on GitHub.com. You can change the email address associated with commits you make in a single repository.
What is passphrase for SSH key?
SSH passphrases protect your private key from being used by someone who doesn't know the passphrase. ... A secure passphrase helps keep your private key from being copied and used even if your computer is compromised. The downside to passphrases is that you need to enter it every time you create a connection using SSH.
