Solved Does change root password also change ssh key's root login?

[ikkeben]

Sorry didn't find or doesn't understand topics.

If you have and use allowed only root logins with SSH KEYS ( including key phrase).
But want to change the root password.

If you do so , do you have to change the ssh root login key after renew / change root password to,?
Or are they still working as before this change root password. ?

Thanks

I can 100% confirm that changing a root pass does not change anything in SSH keys.
You can even have an SSH key with a totally different password. That password will also -not- change if you change the "normal" root password.

So you change your root pass without problem, I've done it several times.

OK thanks, so for thos reading here you have to invoke keys, if important for security to if for example a server admin not working anymore for you.

I wasn't sure about it, while never tested myself.
