Installing a program like [http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/ Seahorse] makes it trivially easy to manage your GnuPG encryption keys. Seahorse just makes it easier for you to do what you otherwise would accomplish with several commands. You can generate a private key; and add the public key to remote servers enabling you to login to those remote servers without using a password.
=== VSCode and VirtualBox ===
When using VirtualBox to manage Linux VMs on your local Windows host, you can setup your SSH config file with a simple stanza to forward local connections on port 2222 to the SSH server on the VM like this.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
Host 127.0.0.1
HostName 127.0.0.1
User root
Port 2222
IdentityFile C:/Users/greg/.ssh/id_ed25519
</syntaxhighlight>
In this way, VSCode will be able to seamlessly connect to the VM, without prompting for a password every time.
