You can use either a password or a key file and passphrase for authentication. For many development scenarios, password authentication is sufficient, but key files are more secure. If you already have a key pair, it's possible to reuse it.

Versions of Visual Studio before 17.10 support Elliptic Curve (EC), Rivert-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), and Digital signature algorithm (DSA) keys for remote connections. Because of security concerns, RSA and DSA keys are no longer supported in VS 17.10 and later. Only EC keys are currently supported. To create a key pair compatible with the connection manager use the command:
