From 6f20f0e2ec2035b86452981a64a324aac207dcf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toni Spets Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2022 10:11:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Explicitly talk about SSH Agent integration There's possible confusion that KeePassXC provides its own agent the way it's worded. Always explicitly talk about integration to make it more clear. --- README.md | 2 +- docs/topics/SSHAgent.adoc | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index a2245590e..0142a698b 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -35,7 +35,7 @@ KeePassXC has numerous features for novice and power users alike.

SSH supports multiple types of authentication and the most widely used ones are either interactive keyboard input with a password or a public-key cryptography pair of keys. KeePassXC SSH Agent integration is built to manage SSH keys in a secure manner by either storing them completely within your KeePassXC database or by having only the decryption key of a key file that is stored elsewhere. SSH Agent integration _does not_ provide an agent itself but works as a client for any agent implementation that is OpenSSH compatible.
