🎁Password-less SSH

Logging in to your WLAN Pi multiple times using SSH can get quite tedious. Each new session requires you to enter your username and password.

To save the hassle of having to login each time, you can setup your WLAN Pi to store your personal public key, allowing a "password"-less login for each SSH session

There are two steps to this process:

  1. Follow the instructions in the blog post below to generate your SSH keys and add your public key to your GitHub account. You'll need to create a (free) GitHub account if you don't already have one.

  2. Add your public key to a WLAN Pi simply using the command:

    wlanpi-gh-ssh-key <gh_username>

  3. Finally, use your SSH client to login to your WLAN Pi. There should be no prompt for your username and password when you login.
