- A passphrase must be used when creating SSH keys. Using a passphrase increases the security when you are using SSH keys. Using a key without a passphrase can be risky.
- If someone obtains a key (from a backup tape, or a one-time vulnerability) that doesn't include a passphrase, the remote account can be compromised.
- Your SSH keys belong to you, not your computer. This means if you get a new computer, copy your existing keypair(s) over to the new one.
