Bitbucket Support

There are a few important concepts you need when working with SSH identities and Bitbucket.

You cannot reuse an identity's public key across accounts. You must create SSH identities for each individual Bitbucket account.
You can associate multiple identities with a Bitbucket account.

Tell me why I would do that.

You would create multiple identities for the same account if, for example, you access a repository from a work computer and a home computer. You might create multiple identities if you wanted to execute DVCS actions on a repository with a script – the script would use a public key with an empty passphrase, allowing it to run without human intervention.
RSA (R. Rivest, A. Shamir, L. Adleman are the originators) and digital signature algorithm (DSA) are key encryption algorithms. Bitbucket supports both types of algorithms. You should create identities using whichever encryption method is most comfortable and available to you.
