@hellomiakoda Okay, so on each machine you want to connect to you add the publickey portion into the authorized_keys file for the user you're connecting as. Then the machine you're connecting from has to have the private key in the ssh profile (usually under the user home directory ~/.ssh

Then when you connect to the machine using your key.

So say on "remote" machine I am user bob and on local machine I'm user bobmcbobberson.

On remote machines bob profile I open the authorized_keys file under the bob/.ssh folder and add my (bobmcbobberson) public key text into it)

Then on my local machine I ssh into the remote machine -> ssh bob@remotemachine

Depending on your key you might need to type a password to open the private section which will authenticate against the remote machine. If it prompts you for a password to connect to the remote machine then password auth is still enabled
