I could never do this. I type my ssh password as a bash command too often. My file would turn out to be a password history!

Is your ssh password `ls`? That's not a great password.

I think he means he types it out accidentally, we've all been there. Bonus points for when you're doing it on a screenshare or projector.

Ah never thought of that... I use ssh keys myself so never a concern. You could scrub the file of all entries where you are ssh'ing in?
