Add and revoke SSH keys
Put your account's SSH keys on a running server, see which keys it has, and remove every key at once.
SSH keys let you log in without a password. A server gets every key on your account when it's built or rebuilt. A key you add to the account later reaches a server when you push it. It's all on the server's Access tab:
- 1Manage team Changes who on your team can reach this server.
- 2Push keys now Writes every key on your account to this server. No reboot needed.
- 3Manage keys Opens the SSH keys page, to add or remove a key on your account.
- 4Revoke all… Removes every key from the server. It asks you to confirm first.
- 5On this server Our record of the keys we've put there. Keys added or removed by hand on the server aren't shown.
Add a key to a running server#
- Press Manage keys and add the key to your account.
- Back on the Access tab, press Push keys now.
Revoke every key#
If a key may have been lost or copied, press Revoke all… and type REVOKE KEYS:
- 1Revoke every key Removes them all, hand-added ones too. It stays greyed out until the words match.
- 2Never mind Closes the box. Nothing changes.
Open sessions stay open until you end them or reboot. To get back in, use the password (reset it if you need to), or remove the lost key from your account and push again.
