===================
PuTTYgen is the PuTTY key generator. You can load in an existing private
key and change your passphrase or generate a new public/private key
pair.
### Change Password for Existing Private Key
You can change the password of your SSH key with "PuTTY Key Generator".

*Load* button.
- Enter your current passphrase.
- Change key passphrase.
- Confirm key passphrase.
- Save your private key with *Save private key* button.

### Generate a New Public/Private key (`id_rsa/id_rsa.ppk` ): `600 (-rw-------)` pair
You can generate an additional public/private key pair and insert public
key into authorized_keys file for authentication with your own private
key.
- Start with *Generate* button.

- Generate some randomness.

- Wait.

- Enter a *comment* for your key using format
'username@organization.example.com'.
Enter key passphrase.
