How to import a public key via amazon aws console

I'm trying to import a public key for a newly created user on the Amazon AWS console. Per the documentation, this is done as follows:

  1. Click Key Pairs in the navigation pane.

  2. Click Import Key Pair.

  3. In the Import Key Pair dialog box, click Browse, and select the public key file that you saved previously. Enter a name for the key pair in the Key pair name field, and click Import.

However, I'm having trouble finding "Key Pairs". Where is it?

You have to generate a keypair first. If you are using unix ssh-keygen can generate a keypair for you. Just google for RSA keypair generation. Keep the private key with you and import the public key into AWS.
