Definitely not appropriate for protecting Real Infrastructure, but for my handful of personal machines I put my authorized keys in a Google Doc and configure hosts to download it using `AuthorizedKeysCommand`. Makes it easy to add and revoke hosts in one place, which also makes rotation possible.

I have a hardware-backed "doomsday key" to use if the Google Doc stops working.

I read "I put my keys in a Google Doc" and my heart rate doubled until I read "authorized keys".

But still, surely there's a better way than relying on google not controlling your "key infrastructure", even for personal use?

Have you thought about using https://github.com/mmdriley.keys instead of Google Docs?
