SSH Login Without Password

You can login to a remote Linux machine without entering a password.

First, we need to create public and private keys using ssh-key-gen on the localhost.

ssh-keygen

 

Now, we have two files in the .ssh directory “id_rsa” as private key file and “id_rsa.pub” as public key file.

 

Now, we need to copy the public key to the remote host

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <your_remote_host_ip>

Let’s try to connect remote host without using a password.

ssh <your_remote_host_ip>

Ok, that’s it!
