{{< caution >}}
When saving the public key, make sure you save it in a plaintext format such as .txt. Other file formats such as .rtf and .doc may add extra characters to the key through encoding, which may prevent your keypair from matching. The public key should be a single line, with no breaks.

9. Keep the default location and name of the private key file and click on the **Save** button.

Make a note of the name and location of the private key. You'll need it in the next section.
