cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh <USERNAME>@<IP-ADDRESS> 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
```

Note that this time you will have to authenticate with your password.
Now you'll have to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config on your Pi for it to accept connections via this method. Open the file and find the following parameter:
```
#PasswordAuthentication yes
```

Replace it with
```
PasswordAuthentication no
```

Then restart the SSH service
```
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
```

Now try `ssh <USER>@<IP-ADDRESS>` and you should connect without a password prompt.
