Why is SSH key authorization considered more secure than a password?
The key file can be stolen from a computer, phone or flash drive. For example, I store some keys in my phone. Passwords, on the other hand, can only be stored in the head, and therefore it is more difficult to steal them.
Here I have a question - why is SSH authorization by key considered safer than a password?
brute force is very unlikely: ssh on a non-standard port + fail2ban
