Hardware FIDO2 keys are among the most secure SSH credentials because access requires physical presence, but the same property that makes them secure makes them fragile. Smart users keep one in the office, one on the keychain, and one in a home safe — yet most SSH clients either ignore FIDO2 or only let you attach a single key per host, forcing manual reselection every connection. Security and convenience collide precisely where the user is most cautious.
