Even better was if ssh sent the public key to that machine and emailed the admin with a request to allow the key to login. One would have to code that into ssh of course or similar. I like key login. I don't type passwords into my car, front door or whatever either, and if one is able to look after his car keys not to get stolen he should be able to do the same with a usb stick. What I would want is a key that not only grants me access to the local machine but to any machine on the network I'm supposed to have access to.
