Use your SSH key generation tool of choice, such as `ssh-keygen` [manual](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ssh-keygen.1.html) or [puttyGen](https://www.puttygen.com/). Make sure to generate a key of sufficient length to make it secure. **To ensure your key cannot be abused, set an appropriately strong password for the private key file.** Without such a password, your credentials are very vulnerable.
