Changing your RSA key passphrase

On a Unix host

To change the passphrase of your key identity file just type:

ssh-keygen -p

First you will be asked for the location of the file. It will suggest a default and that should be the correct answer if you didn't change the default when creating the key. So you should just be able to hit <ENTER>.

Second you will be asked for your old passphrase, followed by a request for your new passphrase, twice.
