SSH Key to my machine, but want to be prepare for my future device

Post by Edward22 »

I watched enough of videos in how to generate SSH Key Authentication to a linux machine. However, what happen if in the future I used a different PC and install my backup VM linux. Due to my PC does not my public key, then I cannot access my linux machine which hold the private key.

How do I prepare myself in the future to give my future PC a public key to access my backup linux machine safety, and secure too?

Second, I would like to read the official VirtualBox manual in preparing a ssh key to my machine. And if the manual mention how to put public ssh key to different device too, even better.

A VM is just another PC. We have no special advice or requirements regarding security keys. Do whatever you would with any other PC.
