1. Turn on developer mode

   In my.dargo.net, open Settings and switch on Developer Mode at the bottom. A Develop page appears in the menu, and your devices get an SSH & Terminal tab.

2. Paste your public key

   Open your device and its SSH & Terminal tab. Paste your SSH public key (it starts with ssh-ed25519). No key yet? Run ssh-keygen -t ed25519 on your computer; the help under the field shows the steps for each system.

3. Enable SSH

   Click Enable SSH. The SSH Access card turns Active, and your key is listed under Authorized Keys. You can add more keys there later.

4. Open the web terminal

   Under Web Terminal, click Connect. You're signed in as devuser on your device. For more room, pop the terminal out into its own window with the button at its top right.
