Enter Passphrase For Private Key

This message indicates that the remote host computer is willing to accept your public key to authenticate you in the future.

Type in the passphrase associated with this key. (You defined the passphrase when you created the public key - see section Generating a New Keypair for more information.)

If you just press the Enter key, public authentication will not be used, and the system will ask you to type in your password instead.
