 [SSH keys](/console/account/concepts/#ssh-key) allow you to securely connect to your Instances, Elastic Metal servers, and Mac minis without using a password. An SSH key consists of a key pair, which has two elements:
 
 - An **identification key** (also known as a private key), which you must keep securely on the computer you want to connect from.
-- A **public key** is uploaded to the Scaleway console, where it is displayed with a customizable name and a hash of its value, known as a fingerprint, to make it more identifiable. The private key is transferred to your Instance during the boot process.
+- A **public key** is uploaded to the Scaleway console, where it is displayed with a customizable name and a hash of its value, known as a fingerprint, to make it more identifiable. The public key is transferred to your Instance during the boot process for authentication.
 
 You can generate the SSH key pair on your local machine. The process will depend on your operating system.
