Windows 10 SSH keys

Question

I am having a really hard time getting my SSH keys up and running after installing Windows 10. Normal method is create it and throw it in the user\'s account under .ssh. T

Answer 1

Create private/public key:

1. Open up terminal (git bash, PowerShell, cmd.exe etc.)
2. Type in ssh-keygen
3. Press enter for default file save (~/.ssh/id_rsa)
4. Press enter for default passphrase (no passphrase)
5. Press enter again
6. Look at the output and make sure that the RSA is 3072 or above

You have now created a private/public key pair.

For GIT the key must have a strength of 2048, must be located in the users .ssh directory and be called id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. When pasting the keys anywhere make sure to use a program that does not add new lines like VIM.
