Using SSH Keys

For key-based authentication:

# Port [22]: 22
# Auth type (password/key) [password]: key

Configuration

Sessions are stored in ~/.qssh/sessions.yaml. Passwords and key passphrases are stored encoded (not plaintext) but for maximum security, consider using SSH keys without passphrases or with an SSH agent.
