For network security reasons, access to R-Forge repositories via SSH will require SSH key authentication starting 3 September 2026.

Please migrate from password-based SSH authentication to SSH key authentication.

You can add your SSH key at the bottom of the "My Account" page (https://r-forge.r-project.org/account/).

For more detailed information about SSH key management, please read section 3.2 of the following manual: http://download.r-forge.r-project.org/R-Forge_Manual.pdf
