I very much agree they should have added instructions to the page. However when I went through the process there was a prominent note saying that when in doubt, you should reject keys and upload new ones. So the "I dunno. Looks fine?" case seems like it would be a problem only for the careless.
- mikeash 15y agoSort of like how the Rails default settings only caused problems for the careless.... I bet a lot of people would have verified their keys with instructions but didn't bother without.
- bricestacey 15y agoDisagree for anyone with more than one key. The problem with verifying all your keys at once is that I'm not going to find all my devices (I don't practice falconry). It would have been better if you could delay answering for some keys. I'm not sure you could have, but I didn't feel that way when performing my audit so I accepted them all, they all had recognizable hostnames.
- mikeash 15y agoIt looked like you could put off dealing with keys by just not doing anything to them. Anything you didn't approve or deny would stick around. However, I didn't actually test this, and I only had one key which is now approved so it's too late.
- lotu 15y agoThat is correct I did exactly that. I got the message at home, and I had a key for a work computer on there, so I confirmed the home keys and left the work key disabled.
