View source for SSH without Password ← SSH without Password

The basis of this is that your ID must be in the list of authorized hosts in the server. So, for password-less login to work, generate your public key, and append it to the authorized_hosts file in the server.
<div class="like-box" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/FacebookDevelopers" data-colorscheme="light" data-show-faces="true" data-header="true" data-stream="false" data-show-border="true"></div>
*To create a public key, from terminal do
 ssh-keygen -t rsa
*To copy to authorized_hosts file do
 cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh serveruser@server 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'

Test by 
 ssh serveruser@server

If no password is asked, everything worked fine. 

You can also do the following command to copy the key
 ssh-copy-id serveruser@server 


<div class="fb-like"  data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div>
