How to SSH Without a Password (like a boss) 

simplifies and to the point. well put together and delivered. Nice.

Nice video. Instead of using the host a and host b text files, to distinguish between the two machines, you can run the hostname commands on each machine. Thanks for the great video!

Crystal-clear explanation! 👏👏

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Really hope this reaches you, but will it still prompt for a password every time its changed? If the password use isn't disabled and expires and changes will they still have to receive it and enter it again?

Hi Tony, in case of doing a script in geany how would you write a script that allows an individual person to communicate via ssh (sshpass) and execute nmap scans and geoip/whois queries?

Tony, why didn't you need to edit the sshd_config file to uncomment and change lines to no? It still keeps prompting me for a password.

Nice video and informative. I am trying to to an rsync from my VM server over to my NAS. With root, I do not get prompted for a password. with any other user, I get prompted to enter a password. I tried the same for just doing ssh. Even if I have multiple keys in the authorized_keys file. What am I missing, thanks.

Your instructions are very clear. Thanks, dude. God bless you.

Thank you, great presentation (techniques and info)

Very helpful video, many thanks!

this is so helpful , thank you for sharing!!!

Congratulations on 7k

How can I do that with a server local windows and virtual server Ubuntu on VMware workstation ?

Hi Tony, thanks for the amazing tutorial. It really helps especially for me as a beginner. I have a quick question about the password. What if you don't have the server password and I only have a private key. Can you use the private key to log in instead of the password directly? My user name and IP connect me to the server but it was asking for the password. When I tried to paste the private key it won't allow me it says invalid. Is it possible to use a private key instead without login in using your password?

Thank you! If we are connecting to different servers do we generate different public keys for each server or the same one is used over and over?

When copying the pub key, you entered a password. Where did you get it assuming you don't know it for the remote server

May I know I share the pub key to another host to logon the server with no password for another users?

Thanks! It really helps!

Suggestion if the server still let you in with password after the above settings. In my sshd_config file there is a line `Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/\*.conf` And inside this folder there were another .conf file with one line: `PasswordAuthentication yes` So, I had to modify the other configuration file as well.

at 4:25 , what exactly did you copy and entered exactly?

good presentation, to the point and simple enough

I am getting a mkdir cannot create .ssh directory already exist error?

Hola Tony. I do deeply appreciate your clear explanation about this important topic, but could you please let me know how we can connect to the remote server while the firewall in on, and we are not allowed to use port 22?

what about password-less connection from linux to windows

Hi, I just wanna ask how did you know your root@ip's password?

Thank you. (Read until the end) I have 2 old computers in my house + 1 raspberry pi + 1 main computer. I use sshfs to create a network between them so I can have some sort of "mesh NAS", but it was very tedious to put the 12 keys each time I tuned on any device. One little problem. Any pc can now connect to any other PC without password, except for PC N°4. I need to input a password for (PC1) -> (PC4), (PC2) -> (PC4) and (PC3) -> (PC4). Any idea why?

Thanks Tony!

great content

password is needed in all cases

thank you Tony!

Thank You!

How can you share this key if you don't have a password, or if you do have a password there is no reason to do so

very useful !! thanks !!

I need to do that but from a windows machine to an ubuntu machine, its been hours and I jus cannot solve it.

I just got the host key, no username,no password,What should I do now

Thank you my friend!

super!

top of the tops

short and easy to follow thx

Thanks a lot

I have do the same thing many times but it is still asking me for the password...

its still asking for my root password

Hi there! At 2:09 you "pasted your password in and entered" but what if we do not know the password? What should we do instead?

Hey I was not able to find the ssh file. Am I supposed to download OpenSSH or does it only show once I have SSH'd to a destination. A bit confused and I'm sort of a noob

Thank you!

Any tips on setting up passwordless SSH into a raspberry pi from windows (Visual Studio Code specifically)

great man, thanks

thanks man

thanks bro

this doesn't work, i'm trying it from a macbook (not a ubuntu or freebsd machine) using term can you try it and see if you can get it to work from a mac laptop as the host I think it requires editing the SSHD conf file on the mac - please try and see if you can get it working without using ubuntu - there probably will be different steps needed...

On password what did you paste, I didn't get this part actually.

to copy the pub key to another server u still need the password...

Still asks me a password

error publickey denied 1: public ip(given) 2: azure virtual machine any suggestion?

Hi Tony, I tried this from a Mac to PC, but after I input the password (as 4:23 in this video), I got some error codes, and I still need password to ssh. Is there anything I missed?

HEll yeah

Missleading title. You actually DO SSH to a server with password. Not possible to transfer your key to the server without having to first establish a password connection?

Thanks, you save my life and time jiahahah 🙏

This is only for people who are too lazy to type the password right?

👁👁 I sore you enter a password
