How to SSH without password

 

 

For passwordless login, hit enter when asked for password then hit enter again for default name.

mkdir .ssh #not needed in most cases
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
Or just ssh-keygen -t rsa

ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub username@otherserver

If on an alternative port other than default 22

  ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub "user@other-server.com" -p45343
