Passwords and Keys in Linux
- by PeanutsMonkey
In a fit of desperation when I had my wireless connection die on me, I thought it was a problem with the key I had created at the start when I initially configured the wireless connection and hence deleted it. The option to create the key had presented itself when I created the wireless connection. It no longer asks me to.
Now I am back online, do I have re-create the password and key I had before? If so, what do I choose and why? The options I have are as follows;
PGP
Stored password
Password keyring
Secure shell key
The first and last option seem to be obvious and I have no idea about the differences between the second and third options.
Why do I need a stored password or password keyring in all scenarios and not just the wireless issue I ran into?
