## Authentication

PowerShell remoting over SSH relies on the authentication exchange between the SSH client and SSH service and does not implement any authentication schemes itself.
This means that any configured authentication schemes including multi-factor authentication is handled by SSH and independent of PowerShell.
For example, you can configure the SSH service to require public key authentication as well as a one-time password for added security.
Configuration of multi-factor authentication is outside the scope of this documentation.
Refer to documentation for SSH on how to correctly configure multi-factor authentication and validate it works outside of PowerShell
before attempting to use it with PowerShell remoting.

## PowerShell Remoting Example

The easiest way to test remoting is to just try it on a single machine.
