I would propose mentioning ssh-copy-id over manually editing ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
ssh-copy-id
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh-copy-id takes the same -i argument, so if you use a non-standard location for your key, lets say ~/foo/bar/id_rsa and ~/foo/bar/id_rsa.pub, then
-i
~/foo/bar/id_rsa
~/foo/bar/id_rsa.pub
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/foo/bar/id_rsa user@remote-machine
will open ssh, ask for password, copy the ~/foo/bar/id_rsa.pub file into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote.
Otherwise
$ ssh-copy-id user@remote-machine
will copy whatever keys it finds to the remote (might be multiple!)
