The -t option sets the key type that ssh-keygen will make. These days it you can choose from DSA, ECDSA, RSA, or Ed25519. Any except DSA ought to be ok. If you run into a dongle or helper application which has trouble with Ed25519, then you could file a bug report and ug make an RSA key (with enough bits) for that one instead. Regards, Lars
