# Configure ssh keys in Mikrotik
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```mikrotik
 | 
			
		||||
# Create a dummy file
 | 
			
		||||
/file print file=dummyFile
 | 
			
		||||
# Set its content to the public key
 | 
			
		||||
/file set dummyFile.txt contents="ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA7QEcjRkbBWpwE7zIShobue9aEGyVObVHDLhK"
 | 
			
		||||
# Assign public key to user
 | 
			
		||||
/user ssh-keys import public-key-file=dummyFile.txt user=admin
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Change the *public key*, and *user* accordingly
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## What led to learning this
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
After having troubles with a mikrotik router I had to reconfigure it from scratch (didn't have a backup :sad:), and in the process the router got hacked, which pushed me to improve security measures
