If I set up SSH to work with a key, how will that impact access to Webmin/Virtualmin?

I currently have my VPS set up to take a username and password each time I SSH into it from Putty. However, I want to make it a bit more secure and use keys for SSH logins. Before I set that up, I'm wondering if switching to keys for SSH will cause any problems with accessing Webmin/Virtualmin from my browser? I use a username/password combo to access it at the moment. Does switching to key-based access for SSH change how I use the username/password login method for Webmin/Virtualmin?

You are free to use the keys for SSH it will not affect Webmin login e.g. it will stay the same with username and psw.
