Instead, you need to generate an SSH key yourself with a few simple commands.įor the unfamiliar, SSH keys are a set of 4069-bit matching cryptographic values which you can use to prove your identity to your server. However, for technical and security reasons, BitLaunch does not set up SSH for our users. The natural reaction when being asked to add an SSH key to a server is to wonder "what is my SSH key and where can I find it in my control panel?". While a little more cumbersome to set up than the usual password, this will ultimately greatly increase the security of your server with little inconvenience.

When you create a VPS, you'll be asked if you'd like to add an SSH key to the server.
