#residentKey

2026-01-27

And now we continue our search for a FIDO2-residential-key ssh client for iOS.

My MacBook and Linux boxes are configured to require a secure key for any SSH/Git operation and if none is connected try to query a backup key via the agent socket of my password manager (ssh-agent-mux be blessed).

Is it that hard to have a simple mobile SSH client that supports my existing keys instead of forcing me to generate a new one?

And no GPG is not an option.. it doesn’t do FIDO2 keys at all and their PIV variant is horribly broken and inconvenient if you have more than one secure key (and you should have 2-3..)
