Manage your SSH connections with security and elegance. This extension provides a visually stunning Material You (Pixel Style) interface to register servers and automatically fills in passwords and key passphrases in your integrated terminal.
Features
🚀 Zero-Touch Login
Stop typing the same passwords. SSH Manager detects when you run an ssh command and intelligently fills the Password or SSH Key Passphrase prompt for you.
🔑 Secure by Design
We take your security seriously:
Zero Plain-Text: Credentials are stored in the OS-level Keychain using VS Code's SecretStorage API.
Privacy First: Your passwords never leave your machine.
🛠 Integrated Key Management
Link existing private keys to your connections.
Generate Keys: Create new 4096-bit RSA keys directly from the UI.
Securely store and auto-fill key passphrases.
How to Use
Click on the Key Icon in the Activity Bar to open the SSH Manager panel.
Click the + (Add) button in the side view to launch the Management Interface.
Enter your server IP/Host and credentials (choose between Password or Key Auth).
Save the connection.
Open any terminal and run ssh user@hostname.
Watch the magic happen when the password prompt appears!
