I was wondering about this the other day, is PasswordAuthentication no really that necessary if a strong password is used? Honestly, being a private key screw-up away from never being able to log in again scares me a little.

That's never the case. Any decent colo facility has some way for you to reboot in single user mode and remote in to that, IP KVM is one such tool.

Encrypt the key (ssh-keygen offers you to do so) and backup it to bazillion clouds.
