## Remote Machines (agent forwarding)
## Remote Machines (Agent Forwarding)
If you want to use YubiKey to sign a git commit on a remote machine, or ssh through another layer, then this is possible using Agent Forwarding.
**Note** SSH Agent Forwarding can [add additional risk](https://matrix.org/blog/2019/05/08/post-mortem-and-remediations-for-apr-11-security-incident/#ssh-agent-forwarding-should-be-disabled) - proceed with caution!
To use YubiKey to sign a git commit on a remote host, or ssh through another network, configure and use Agent Forwarding.
To do this, you need access to the remote machine and the YubiKey has to be set up on the host machine.
