I have it on good authority that Heikki meant:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
(that is, he meant "2048", not "4048".)

I you do this now you can actually help bear set up your accounts faster.
Here's how you would create the keys using command line ssh tools:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4048
It will ask for a password for the private key (man ssh-keygen for other
options if interested).
If everything went fine, it should create a .ssh directory in your $HOME
directory, and some files under it. Email id._rsa.pub to bear. Keep the
other files secret.
When you start using the account bear will set up, ssh will ask for the
private key password. No passwords will be sent over the wire (even
encrypted).
