So that's including ssh keys?

  Yes

  Yes, though the private keys should be encrypted ideally.

    Hardware keys make more and more sense all the time.

    Not gonna lie, I never choose the pw option when creating keys. Am I out of the ordinary here?

      Create the keys with a password, then store the password in an SSH agent (which is built into many keychain managers such as Seahorse). That way, you can use your key without entering the password, yet the key file is still encrypted on disk. Keys are decrypted automatically on login and stored in memory only, protected by the secrets daemon.

        I think I just had a lightbulb moment, thanks! Not wanting to re-enter the password all the time when running scripts etc. was my only reason for not using the feature.

        Any equivalent solution for containers running in k8s?

        Still doesn't help unattended machines that need to scp automatically
