How to connect via SSH with password

In this article, you will learn how to establish an SSH connection with a password using Termius.

Prerequisites

You’ll need the corresponding server details for SSH connection, such as the IP address or hostname, SSH port, username, and password for authorization.

Also, make sure you have the latest Termius version on your device (available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android)

Connect with Password

1. Create a new host by clicking the New Host button.

2. In the New Host form that appears, provide the following details:

   • IP address (how to find your IP address).

   • Label - provide a human-readable name for a host.

   • Port - leave empty for the default SSH port 22 or specify a custom (how to find your port).

   • Username

   • Password

3. Hit the Connect button.

Once the first connection starts to a host, Termius prompts you to add a fingerprint to known hosts; press the Add and Continue to establish a connection. If something goes wrong, Termius shows you a connection log, which you can use to troubleshoot your connection.
