Using authorised keys for SSH is such a wonderful thing ... except when you're not on your own workstation and have to remember your password.
ahh yes...

"the keys are in the car" syndrome.

That's happened to me several times. Annoying isn't it
;-)
My other favourite trick is to spend five minutes repeatedly giving my SSH keyphrase to sudo rather than the local users password. Which I then remember that I've forgotten.
Memory Sticks

You mean you don't keep your secret key on a memory stick which you carry around with you? It's far more secure and portable.
:-)
Whilst I don't do that, I do usually have a floppy disk with PuTTY and a key pair on it. That goes a long way towards universal access.

PDA?

I thought that is what a PDA was for? ; )
Fortunately, I don't get out much

I used to have just two or three passwords that I used for everything, because whenever I tried using a new password I'd forget it after the first use.
Well, I wised up eventually and started writing them all down; I keep them in a binder locked up at work and another at home.
Fortunately, I don't get out much. P.S.: Now, of course, I rarely forget any of them. Go figure.
