I walk to my pc and type ssh-keygen. If i can’t do that I’ve got bigger problems. “I must be able to recover remotely using a memorised credential” is a terrible requirement.

You go travelling in a foreign country and get mugged. You have no phone no wallet no keys, just something you know and the goodwill of strangers.

  • > goodwill of strangers

    Who can presumably get you in touch with the relevant embassy or consulate or, failing that, local authorities.

  • In that situation how will having ssh to my server help? I don’t have /usr/bin/international-rescue on any of my systems
