Creating a passphrase for my ssh key on GitHub -
i'm trying setup github account , every time point of entering passphrase ssh key terminal freezes. here steps:
parkers-macbook-pro:~ ppreyer$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -c parker.preyer1@gmail.com generating public/private rsa key pair. enter file in save key (/users/ppreyer/.ssh/id_rsa): (/users/ppreyer/.ssh/id_rsa): created directory '/users/ppreyer/.ssh'. enter passphrase (empty no passphrase): (wont let me type anything)
anybody else run problem?
you're on unix compliant machine. therefore, terminal-based password entry mechanisms use what's called "unix password field" (as far know, that's common name it). not see characters typing, there. make sure type same thing twice , should good.
give try, type password , press enter. type again , press enter again. you've create ssh passphrase.
