Enter file in which to save the key (/c/Users/Vlad Dracula/.ssh/id_ed25519):
```

We want to use the default file, so just press <kbd>Enter</kbd>.
We want to store our key in the file `~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github`.

```output
Created directory '/c/Users/Vlad Dracula/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
```

Now, it is prompting Dracula for a passphrase. Since he is using his lab's laptop that other people sometimes have access to, he wants to create a passphrase.
Be sure to use something memorable or save your passphrase somewhere, as there is no "reset my password" option.
Now you will be prompted for a passphrase. If the computer you work on is shared between
multiple users you should set a passphrase. On your VDI there is no need
to set a passphrase so just press <kbd>Enter</kbd>.

If you do set a passphrase be sure to use something memorable or save your passphrase somewhere,
as there is no "reset my password" option.
Note that, when typing a passphrase on a terminal, there won't be any visual feedback of your typing.
This is normal: your passphrase will be recorded even if you see nothing changing on your screen.
