4. After the key generation is complete, click on "Save public key".
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Save the key in any folder; this key can be used to grant access.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. After saving the public key, click on "Save private key".
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. This key needs to be kept very private, and DO NOT give it to anyone as this is your private access key for Authentication.

9. Open the "Public Key" file in Notepad or any Editor. 
   
   
   
   
   
10. Edit the file with the proper format by removing all the extra information and adding "ssh-ed25519" and "space" before the key as shown in the image below:
