Key Generation Wizard

To generate a new key pair, open the Settings dialog and select the Keys page (in the User Authentication branch). Click the Generate New Keypair button to start the Key Generation wizard.

The wizard will generate two key files, your private key and your public key. The private key file has no file extension, and the public key has the same base file name as the private key, but with .pub as the file extension. The key files will be stored on your local computer, in the user profile directory.
