Learn how to enable passwordless SSH authentication on both Linux and macOS. You probably secure shell into your Linux servers throughout the day.

Hopefully, you've set those servers up such that you're using SSH Key Authentication.

After you've copied your SSH key to the server, you'll want to SSH into that server for the first time.

Even if you log out or reboot that client machine, you still won't have to type your passphrase for SSH key authentication to that Ubuntu Server.

Now, the next time you SSH into that remote server from either client, you won't have to enter your SSH key authentication passphrase.
