Removing passphrase from a SSH key

If you have a SSH key and are tired of typing it over and over, there is an easy way to remove it.

Open a *nix terminal and type :

bash-3.2$ ssh-keygen -p

Enter file in which the key is (/home/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter old passphrase:
Key has comment '/home/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa'
Enter new passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved with the new passphrase.
