# SSH Keys

## SSH Key Access

SSH keys provide a secure, passwordless way to access your virtual machine. This setting allows you to view SSH public keys authorized to log in to the VM. By using key-based authentication, you eliminate the need to remember passwords and reduce the risk of unauthorized access from brute-force attacks.
