    2. For SSH key authentication, you can follow the instructions in How To Configure SSH Key-Based Authentication on a Linux Server. This article involves generating a key pair on your client machine and adding the public key to the server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Click the "SSH Key" tab. You can drag the key file from the Finder into the dashed - line box, or you can manually select the key file. If the key file has a passphrase, you also need to fill it in the passphrase box.

    3. Both passwords and SSH keys support MFA authentication. Nex Terminal will use the saved password and key for the initial authentication. If the server also has MFA authentication enabled, Nex Terminal will automatically pop up a one - time OTP verification code dialog box. After entering the code and clicking continue, you can establish SSH connection successfully.
