SSH without passwords

If you need quick access from your linux desktop to the VPS there is an easy solution that won't require a password to login. First, create a private and public ssh key pair on your desktop: 
ssh-keygen -t rsa 
Copy the public key to the vps (replace vps by the hostname or IP address):
ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub vps
Login to the VPS from your desktop:
ssh vps
