Guys, I have two computers, a desktop and a notbook, both with Ubuntu 18. my question is: can I use the same SSH in both? I don’t want to keep adding the two keys on remote servers...

It is possible to use the same SSH key on both machines. However, it is important to remember that the more devices that use this key, the more valuable it will be from a security perspective. It is always important to consider safety vs convenience, depending on the criticality that this key has, it may not be a good idea to have it on multiple devices. Is there such a reply, who rightly talks about the relationship between comfort and security, the safer you want it to be a mechanism, the less convenience it will have.

To use the same key, just copy the files generated by ssh-keygen and put them available in the . ssh directory.
