This might disqualify Aunt Tillie, but I prefer to use keys with
passphrases, and ssh-agent to handle the passphrases for me. This way,
I need to enter my password once per key per session, but I don't have
to worry about someone copying my key, as the passphrase would buy me
enough time to revoke the key and clear it out of all the
authorized_keys files.
