[Solved] SecureCRT Public Key Dialog - A public key file has not been specified

SecureCRT is an excellent tool that can help us manage multiple sessions. There is a free and famous tool called putty, but in my opinion SecureCRT is much better.

But there is one thing which is annoying:
when connecting to a new server, it always popup a public key dialog "A public key file has not been specified for this session. Would you like to specify one now?"



Then I have to click now and go on, which is really wasting time.
To solve this, we can set up a SSH key, but also way can do these steps by only use password authentication:
1.  right click a session and view its properties

2. Unselect the "PublicKey" dialog

After save the annoying dialog will be gone. Save my life for 3 seconds each time, although I wasted too much.
