You allow password login over ssh? I restrict it to key pair
authentication only. The only drawback is that I have to carry a
copy of the key with me. I have a USB drive with the key, and ssh
software on it. The key is protected with a pass phrase. I have a
different key pair and pass phrase on my laptop. If one gets
compromised, you delete the server side key and create a replacement.
