	The //Username// box is where you type your account name on the server. If you do not fill the username and it needs to be known to complete authentication (most cases), you will be [[ui_authenticate#username\|prompted for username]] then. You can use environment variables in the value with syntax ''%NAME%''.		The //Username// box is where you type your account name on the server.

-	The //Password// box is for the password associated with the account. You are advised not to fill it in if you are going to [[session_configuration#stored\|save the session]] to [[ui_login_stored_sessions\|stored session list]]. If you decide to do so nevertheless, do not forget to force password storing on the //[[ui_login_save\|Save session as dialog]]//. Also do not fill the password if you are going to use other [[ssh#authentication_in_ssh\|authentication method]] (like public key). If you do not fill the password and other authentication methods fail (password authentication has the lowest preference), you will be [[ui_authenticate#password\|prompted for password]] then.	+	The //Password// box is for the password associated with the account.

	With [[sftp\|SFTP]] and [[scp\|SCP protocol]], use the //Private key file// box to specify [[local_path\|local path]] to your [[public_key#private\|private key file]] if you are going to use [[public_key\|public key authentication]]. The file must be in [[public_key#private\|PuTTY format]]. If the private key is passphrase-protected, you will be [[ui_authenticate#private_key_passphrase\|prompted for passphrase]] once the authentication begins. If you have your private keys loaded into [[ui_pageant\|Pageant]], leave the box blank, unless you want to ensure that only that particular key is used for authentication.

-	The passphase cannot be entered in advance on Login dialog and thus it cannot be saved to [[ui_login_stored_sessions\|stored session]]. If you need to login to server automatically without prompt, generate key without passphrase. Use this method carefully and only under special circumstances.	+	The passphase cannot be entered in advance on Login dialog and thus it cannot be saved to [[ui_login_stored_sessions\|site]].
