A lot of new hardware security keys (Yubikey, Nitrokey, Titan, etc.) now support FIDO2 (aka U2F aka Webauthn aka Passkey; yes it’s a mess). So does OpenSSH.

A key benefit of all this, if done correctly, is that it is actually impossible to access the raw SSH private key, and impossible to use it without the presence of the SK and a human touching it.| www.complete.org
