Hello guys,  
  
I was trying to automate my workflow to setup a VPS using Infrastructure as Code (IaS) software, and I was trying to add ssh key into server as smooth as possible.  
  
On my VPS dashboard, on reinstallation I saw the option to pre-install ssh key, and to do so I have to "add a key in my Account section", see below :

So, trying to add this key on my account section, I didn't find anywhere to add my key. I was wondering if I was in a wrong "my account section", if something else exist elsewhere, and I found this [tutorial](https://gist.github.com/tattali/58564a8c7233098fd207bcf42ed14821) where they perform this task, using a previous ovh interface.  
It have a "My ssh keys settings", which isn't available in the actual interface.  
  
So, am I looking in the wrong place ? Does the ssh settings' location change ? Or is this feature deprecated by ovh, the ssh key list removed but still having this option visible for the VPS reinstallation ?  
  
Thx for your response.
