Public bug reported:

The page https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair
talks about creating SSH keys, but it doesn't talk much about how to
best use them. In particular, it should mention using key agents to
store keys in memory and avoid retyping lengthy passphrases.

This is particularly important for Windows users, who are generally less
familiar with key management.

As mentioned in a comment on bug 244257:
    bzr + launchpasd will not be as popular as it could without instructions how to setup and _use_ SSH keys for bzr+lp in various environments, i.e. need to run Pageant to use generated key for auth on Windows.
