Regarding private keys and computers going in for repairs...
I know it's not strictly best practice but store your private key in your password manager. That way if the worst happens you aren't up a creek...
- zipy124 2y agoAt least encrypt your private key and store it somewhere private, and then store the decryption key in your password manager. Then if either one is compromised you are still safe.
- jpc0 2y agoI mean if my password manger is compromised I'm pretty screwed anyway but this is a good idea too.
- zipy124 2y agoThe whole idea behind 2FA is that if your password manager is compromised, you will still be fine, thats why its so damn important. (also please please please don't use SMS 2FA, it's not secure, it's expensive and there's no reason why I should need mobile phone signal to login to a service.
- jpc0 2y agoThere's more than just passwords in my password manager. 2FA cannot help you in all cases.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoYou can also just have multiple keys? Most of my devices have an authorized_keys that gives access to a couple laptops and my phone (which runs the normal openssh client in termux), which solves a lot of these access problems.
