Be smart about backing up ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Because if it gets moved, and you log out, and your server doesn't permit login via password...

Can I get this picture already. There must be an easier way, # wild goose chase going on 4 years. I don’t give up easily but this is rediculos.

FWIW, in my fork I added a check after the backup for the authorized_keys file in the backup directory. If it exists, then copy the authorized_keys back into ~/.ssh: https://github.com/SteVwonder/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/dotfiles#L272

Obviously not bullet proof, but it has worked well for me so far.

PS - Thanks for the amazing dotfiles. I've been using it for many years, and it has served me very well.
