Generate Private Key
To start, open a terminal window. If you are using a Windows machine, open a Git Bash terminal.
To generate an encrypted private key, use the following command and replace <YourPassphraseHere> with a passphrase of your choice. This command will generate a private key rsa_key.p8 in PEM format.
openssl genrsa -aes256 -passout pass:<YourPassphraseHere> -out rsa_key.p8 2048
Generate Public Key
From the command line, generate the public key by referencing the private key. The following command assumes the private key is encrypted and contained in the file named rsa_key.p8. Replace <YourPassphraseHere> with the passphrase you just used for generating your private key. The command generates the public key rsa_key.pub in PEM format.
openssl rsa -in rsa_key.p8 -pubout -out rsa_key.pub -passin pass:<YourPassphraseHere>
Input/Upload this public key into the "Public Key 1" field.
