+# SSH Key Management
+
+When you first create an account with IT4Innovations, you receive an SSH key with your credentials. However, you can manage your own SSH key for authentication to clusters.
+
+## Managing Your Own Key
+
+1. Generate your SSH key (see the [OpenSSH Keys (UNIX)][1] or [PuTTY (Windows)][2] section).
+
+1. Go to [https://extranet.it4i.cz/ssp/index.php?action=changesshkey][a]
+

-First, generate a new keypair of your public and private key:

-
-!!! note
-    Enter a **strong** **passphrase** for securing your private key.

-You can insert an additional public key into the authorized_keys file for authentication with your own private key. Additional records in the authorized_keys file must be delimited by a new line. Users are not advised to remove the default public key from the authorized_keys file.
-
-Example:
-
-```console
-$ cat additional_key.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
-```
-
-In this example, we add an additional public key stored in the additional_key.pub file into the authorized_keys file. Next time we log in, we will be able to use the private addtional_key key to log in.

-Removing your key from authorized_keys can be done simply by deleting the corresponding public key which can be identified by a comment at the end of line (e.g. _username@organization.example.com_).
