@nixCraft I’ve seen mostly user/password but I strongly encourage to use ssh certificates when having to handle more than a couple of machines. They are awesome.

@nielsk @nixCraft passwords are unsafe. Just use certs.

@melroy @nixCraft I use certs but the question was what I encounter most. Not what I use.

@nielsk @nixCraft oei. Maybe advise those others to also use certs 🤔
