+===== Using SSH keys =====
+We recommend that you set up ssh keys. If you have a working key setup, you can check the option ''SSH Agent or default SSH key''. This will allow you access without having to type your password and two-factor login code on each connection. Of course the usual warnings apply: treat this ssh key as an actual key: once someone has it, they have access to your account, so never give it out to anyone, never put it in a place where others can access it, etc. See also [[services:2fa:sshkeys|SSH keys]]
 ===== Desktop sharing =====
