+We highly recommend [setting up SSH keys](https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/SSH%20Keys/) to avoid having to manually type in your password and auth keys for shell services.

 If ssh keys are not setup for the current account you will need to use your password combined with your 6-digit auth code whenever prompted. In the event of multiple prompts, make sure to generate a new auth code.
