### A note on SSH keys and password storage

104

Unlike other clients that rely on having an SSH agent running to store and retrieve SSH key passphrases, Teatype bypasses this by using the operating system's credential manager. The same applies to standard passwords. This is why, if you chose to store your password/passphrase on one computer and transfer Teatype to another machine, you will be asked for that password/passphrase again.

If you're sighted and don't want to hear server output spoken by a screen reader, both the server manager and TTY windows have a settings bar where you can turn it off. This is also useful in situations where you have a very long process running and you want to do other things without having to hear the screen reader blabbing on.
