What is an SSH key, and why is it essential for Synology SSH?

An SSH key is a secure method of logging into a server, offering a more robust security layer than passwords alone. For Synology SSH, it's crucial to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the safety of your data.

Can I use the same SSH key for multiple devices or services?

Yes, but for optimal security, especially in a Synology SSH setup, it's recommended to use unique keys for different devices or services.

What should I do if I lose my private SSH key?

Losing your private key is a serious security concern in a Synology SSH context. Immediately generate a new SSH key pair and update your Synology NAS and any other services where the old key was used.
