It’s a Xiaomi. No Google Play store installed on the device, I do indeed sideload apps to it. I only really have one because it’s the only way to get Whatsapp without messing about with emulators.

Well, that’s a shame. Thanks for your answer.

Saying that – passwordless authentication over ssh is already quite good security. Provided no-one gets your private key (and you don’t reuse keys over different machines), IMO you don’t need to worry too much.

Have you actually been logging attempted ssh logins? I would be inclined not to worry too much about the security implications – if you’ve disabled passwords for ssh, people aren’t going to be able to login without a key.

Put it another way – if someone could access my computer via passwordless ssh, I’d be much more worried about my bank being hacked than me!

I’m not familiar with Tailscale, but if you’re connecting by SSH you can add from=”ip address” in front of the public key in the .authorized_keys file.
