+It is recommended you use Powershell, but command prompt or a basic windows terminal will also work. Once inside Powershell (or similar), execute the following command:
+```
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519
+```
+After, it is important that you **_create a passphrase_** and note the file path of the generated key. This will be important for step 3. You can also name the key in the `Enter file ...` step to make it unique, instead of remaining the default `id_ed25519`. In the example output provided below, we see that the public key has been saved in the path `C:\Users\username/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 * If you are able to get through [Step 3](#step-3-upload-your-ssh-key-to-registrycilogonorg) but unable to ssh in from your terminal, check that the ssh key in your command is the same key you uploaded to the registry.
-* If you are prompted for a **__passphrase__** (not a password) when signing in from your terminal, this refers to the passphrase you set when you generated your ssh key. If you don't remember it then you will have to generate and upload a new ssh key to the registry. If you are prompted for a **__password__**, please submit a [support request form](https://colorado.service-now.com/req_portal?id=ucb_sc_rc_form), as this indicates an issue with your CILogon enrollment. Please include a screenshot of the error message and the date/time of your last login attempt.
+* For Mac users: If you have set up the key and followed all the steps above but are prompted for a **__password__** instead of a **__passphrase__**, you may need to edit or create a config file (`~/.ssh/config`). If you don't have an ssh config file, you can create it from the terminal window with the command `touch ~/.ssh/config`. After, edit the file and add the following 3 lines before trying again:
