ssh login saved passphrase
Hi,
when I used linux mint or fedora, when I'd enter '' ssh router'' for the first time, it asked for saved my passphrase but with arch linux, dont have that option for now, do you know if I can do something? Or I need to always put my passphrase to connect router to ssh ?
thanks
```
[james@jimmy-ms7b79 ~]$ ssh router
Enter passphrase for key '/home/james/.ssh/id_ed25519':
BusyBox v1.35.0 (2023-01-06 17:35:56 UTC) built-in shell (ash)

Re: ssh login saved passphrase
thanks
I've already did those steps earlier but don't know if I really need to always retype the passphrase?
'' To make use of these variables, run the command through the eval command. Use ssh-agent -c instead if using the fish shell.
$ eval $(ssh-agent)
Agent pid 2157
Once ssh-agent is running, you will need to add your private key to its cache:
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
Enter passphrase for /home/user/.ssh/id_ed25519:
Identity added: /home/user/.ssh/id_ed25519 (/home/user/.ssh/id_ed25519)
''

Re: ssh login saved passphrase
ssh-add only works in the current session.

No it doesn't.

Please don't recommend external sources when the wiki provides information.
@James80 If you continue with the instructions, you'll see the wiki explains how to get this working at login and as part of your standard configuration. You should not have to keep retyping your passphrase unless too long a time has elapsed (or you've taken some other action which would have invalidated the cached passphrase). I use gpg-agent, but the basic principle is the same: caching means you don't have to keep reentering the passphrase. However, if you're only connecting once a day or something, you would have to because the cached value would presumably have expired. (I assume this is configurable, but you probably don't want the authorisation to persist too long, even if you want to increase the default.)
