SSH - Launch a terminal on your session without having to authenticate yourself

Imagine that you regularly need to connect to your Linux server: you need to launch a tool such as Putty, you need to enter your login, password, etc. and carry out various operations before you can access the terminal.

If your password isn't saved in Putty's configuration, you'll have to launch another tool like a password vault; in short, it's annoying.

In this article, we'll look at how to authenticate once and for all on the server using an SSH key.

Fatal error was starting Putty after having saved settings

A few days ago, I've updated my Putty configuration to set the default font-size to 12; no more 10.

Today, by starting Putty, whatever on which server I wish to join, I got the No supported authentication methods available followed by, in my case (server sent: publickey, gssapi-keyex, gssapi-with-mic, keyboard-interactive) fatal error.

I've only understand the origin of the problem by looking at the window caption: Putty tries to connect to a server other than the one I want. Why? And, ah, ok, last time I've modified my settings I was working on that server so, the solution should come from: how can I reset my Putty settings?
