Login in ssh with password

I have a long time working with servers so I'm getting bored because I don't save passwords, I've to open emails and tickets and check each customer server credentials to log in their servers and manage it.

so I got an idea to create a short command and that let me login directly without asking me about IP, Username or even password. follow up on these steps to set your short commands.

Where can I use the ssh command and commands to login ssh without password

Well, the answer to this question is that you can make ssh command and move over your ssh password that with macOS or Linux (Centos, Ubuntu, Debian or RedHat) Terminal.

each time you log in your server you execute this command

# ssh username@host

and you may use custom port too, so you add it to the command like this

#ssh username@host -p 2059

now you can short this code by adding it as an alias on your terminal by following this step

# nano ~/.bash_profile

and add this line

alias my_server="ssh [email protected]"

Save the file, now we created the alias, so we can just use this command

# my_server

and if you're lazy like me you can write my and press tab button so it will be autocompleted itself

now we need to access without a password, so we will create certificate to let the server know us, it's recommended to create a different certificate for each server for security purpose. follow me to create your certificate and copy it to the server.

# ssh-keygen -t rsa

Generating public/private rsa key pair.

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/a/.ssh/id_rsa):

Created directory '/home/a/.ssh'.

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):

Enter same passphrase again:

Your identification has been saved in /home/a/.ssh/id_rsa.

Your public key has been saved in /home/a/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

The key fingerprint is:

3e:4f:05:79:3a:9f:56:7c:3b:ad:e9:57:37:bc:37:s4 a@A

Now copy the certificate to your server and enter your server password one last time.

# cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh [email protected] 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

No more ssh with password

we're now done, now you can easily log in with no longer ssh with password, Keep lazy and automate everything.
