| 164 | +create form itself: |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +- In Phase B3 step 6 ("Authentication"), click **"+ New SSH Key"** |
| 167 | + on the form. Paste `~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub` from your laptop, |
| 168 | + name it after the laptop ("macbook-pro"). The key gets saved |
| 169 | + to your account permanently AND attached to this droplet. |
| 170 | +- For droplets #2–4, the key is already in the list — just tick |
| 171 | + its checkbox. |

| 173 | +If you want to add the key in advance via the standalone page: |
| 174 | +use the dashboard's top search bar — type **"SSH"** — and it'll |
| 175 | +surface the current location. (Path varies; "Settings → Security |
| 176 | +→ SSH Keys" used to work, but DO reorganises this page often.) |
