+# Tilde.club Help Desk Guide
+
+Welcome! This Help Desk system provides a quick, self-serve way to:
+
+1. **Request or redeem a new SSH key** for your tilde account.  
+2. **Reset your account password** (if you've forgotten it).
+
+Below you’ll find step-by-step instructions on how to use the help desk system when you **SSH** into the `help` user. 
+
+---
+
+## Accessing the Help Desk
+
+1. Open a terminal on your local machine.  
+2. **SSH** into the **help** account (adjust the hostname to your actual tilde server name):
+   ```bash
+   ssh help@tilde.club
+   ```
+3. You’ll see a welcome message and a **main menu** with numbered options.
+
+---
+
+## Main Menu Overview
+
+After logging in, you’ll see three main options:
+
+1. **SSH Key Help**  
+2. **Password Help**  
+3. **Exit**
+
+Select the option that applies by typing its corresponding number and pressing **Enter**.
+
+---
+
+## 1. SSH Key Help
+
+When you choose **SSH Key Help** at the main menu, you’ll see another menu:
+
+1. **Request a new SSH key**  
+2. **Redeem a code** for a new SSH key  
+3. **Return** to the previous menu
+
+### 1.1 Request a New SSH Key
+
+1. Pick **“I want to request a new SSH key”** (option 1).  
+2. **Enter the email** you registered with your tilde account. The system does a simple check to ensure it’s valid.  
+3. If the email matches an existing account, you’ll receive a **“request code”** at that address.  
+4. After receiving that code, **log out** or press **Enter** to return to the main menu.
+
+### 1.2 Redeem a New SSH Key
+
+1. Back in the **SSH Key Help** menu, choose **“I have a code from my email and need to redeem it.”**  
+2. Paste in the **request code** you received.  
+3. The system confirms your username.  
+4. When prompted, **paste your new public SSH key** (the part that starts with `ssh-ed25519` or `ssh-rsa` or similar).  
+5. The system appends your key to your `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`.  
+6. You’ll see a success message, and you can then **log in** to your tilde with that new key.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Password Help
+
+At the main menu, choosing **Password Help** displays:
+
+1. **Request a password reset code**  
+2. **Redeem a password reset code**  
+3. **Return** to the previous menu
+
+### 2.1 Request a Password Reset Code
+
+1. Choose **“Request a password reset code.”**  
+2. **Enter your email** address.  
+3. The system sends a **reset code** to your email if the account matches.  
+4. Exit or return to the menu once you have the code.
+
+### 2.2 Redeem a Password Reset Code
+
+1. Choose **“Redeem a password reset code.”**  
+2. **Paste in** the code from your email.  
+3. Enter a **new password** for your tilde account, then **confirm** it.  
+4. Upon success, the system updates your account’s password immediately.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Exiting the Help Desk
+
+Simply choose **“I’d like to leave this help desk”** (option 3 in the main menu) or press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>D</kbd> (end of file) to disconnect.
+
+---
+
+## Tips & Troubleshooting
+
+- **Time Limit**: Each prompt has a 2-minute inactivity timer. If you wait too long, the help desk **exits** automatically. Just log in again to resume.  
+- **Email Didn’t Arrive?** Check your spam folder. If you still don’t see it, contact root@tilde.club.  
+- **Invalid Email**: If you mistype an email or use an unrecognized domain, you’ll see an error. Double-check your address.  
+- **Incorrect Code**: If the code was typed incorrectly or expired, the system will refuse it. Request a new one if needed.
