SSH keys management advice

ssh-keys-management-advice
Use separate private keys *per origin* (e.g. one from your work computer and a separate one for your personal laptop).
The same is not true of destinations: One private key on your personal laptop can serve to access multiple destinations;
if that key is compromised, all other private keys stored on in the same directory will surely be compromised as well.
