I sincerely hope that this is a troll comment. I suppose it's subjective, but I don't consider "ssh-keygen -t rsa" to be scary, and I would've thought that most developers would've already have OpenSSH installed (which is the only dependency for generating keys, not "a bunch of random software.")
Do you really have no idea why they would make people do that, though? Maybe it's so that your source code can be securely protected so that only you can access it and modify it?
- mbell 15y agoI'd really like to know if the original comment was a troll, joke or otherwise as well. According to the posters profile he is actually a developer of several services. If it wasn't a joke of some kind I'd like to make a note to never trust any sensitive data of any kind to his products. Considering generation of an SSH key 'scary' is a pretty strong indication to me that there is no tangible level of security being implemented.
- prezjordan 15y agoDo you even need an SSH key to get an account? I'm pretty sure that's done after the fact.
