'Local NervesHub user password' might be confusing #83

Just a few questions about the ssh certificate that is being generated upon registering for NervesHub.

Most users should be familiar with GitHub's way of setting up an ssh certificate that's used by (commandline) git to authenticate the user. There are guides here: https://help.github.com/en/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent

Therefore:

wouldn't it be less confusing when the same terminology is used? ie SSH key passphrases instead of local user password?
would it also be possible to guide the user to register it with a ssh-agent so (s)he won't have to re-enter the password every time the certificate is used?

Maybe also refer to https://help.github.com/en/articles/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases ?
