SSH keys provide a secure authentication method using asymmetric cryptography to protect server access from brute-force attacks and credential theft.
SSH Keys provide a more secure and reliable method of authentication compared to traditional passwords. They use asymmetric cryptography to establish a secure connection between your local machine and your Vultr server, minimizing the risk of brute-force attacks and credential theft.
When you add an SSH public key to your Vultr account and select it during instance provisioning, only the matching private key can be used to authenticate, making unauthorized access significantly more difficult.
For best practices, avoid using passwords entirely when connecting to servers. Use SSH keys wherever possible for improved security and automation.
