    > An even more robust approach is to use some kind of hardware token that can sign short-lived ssh keys, and teach all your servers how to deal with those. That’s neat, but it’s hard to deploy (needs custom ssh settings).

    Ahem, no. I use Yubikeys for a few years now. They are literally braindead to use, and works out of the box in recent Ubuntu. Here is an Absible role to get started: https://github.com/cristiklein/stateless-workstation-config/...

    Stop making excuses and start protecting your SSH keys!

    Disclaimer: I'm not compensated in any way by Yubico, but their product is so darn good that I really want people to start using it.
