I wasn't sure about that, but when I tried to upload my old DSS key, it
demanded an RSA key.  Plus, my old FAS password was 6 digits, and now it
wants 8.  Some security hardening is definitely going on.

And is to be applauded.  BTW, a shout out and mad props to the
Infrastructure team and all others involved.
