# How do I use a specific SSH key for exe.dev? How do I manage multiple exe.dev accounts?


If you want to specify which key to use, use `ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_exe exe.dev` or add the following stanza to your `~/.ssh/config`:

```
Host exe.dev *.exe.xyz
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_exe
```

If you have multiple accounts, you will need different SSH keys per account.
You can create more keys with `ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/my-alt-account`
or similar. If you work on multiple accounts frequently, use a script like
[exe-ssh-config-generator](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boldsoftware/exe.dev/refs/heads/main/bin/exe-ssh-config-generator)
to configure your SSH configuration to use the appropriate key for the appropriate hostnames.
