How to Specify Username and Password in SSH

SSH, or Secure Shell, is a widely used protocol for securely accessing remote systems. When specifying a username and password in SSH, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal or SSH client.
2. Enter the following command: ssh username@hostname. Replace 'username' with your username and 'hostname' with the remote system's hostname or IP address.
3. You will be prompted to enter your password. Type your password securely as no characters will be displayed on the screen for security reasons.

It is important to note that specifying a password directly in the SSH command may not be the most secure method as passwords can be intercepted. Instead, consider using key-based authentication or SSH keys for a more secure way to access remote systems.
