What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

When I change authentication from password to SSH, I followed the roadmap at https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh. However, I later found that I had failed to change my remote origin URL from password to SSH. It would be helpful to users to remind them that they need to take this final step to use SSH authentication.

Additional information

I followed the instructions at https://help.learn.co/en/articles/493023-how-to-switch-github-remote-from-https-to-ssh to do this.
