Pros
- Generates RSA, DSA, ECDSA, and Ed25519 keys | Can be downloaded separately from PuTTY | Simplifies the process of creating new key pairs | Allows loading existing keys to make changes | Public key can be copied for OpenSSH authorized_keys
Cons
- SSH-1 only supports RSA keys | Interface is dated and not very intuitive | Lacks advanced key management features | No built-in SSH client; requires separate tools
