    Yes, buts it’s not something that can be easily guessed or found on a post it on the monitor

    True dat. But if they compromise your computer the first thing the look for is key files.

    Like my ssh keys are in a root permission file. Protected from general sight, but if somebody compromises my PC with a CVE on then goodbye keys.

    At least with hardware key it is removable and requires a button press.

    So accessing becomes physical access or quantum computer cracking
