Small clarification: SSH functionality is a part of FIDO stack (if you meant ecdsa-sk & ed25519-sk )

Yeah, but without resident keys you’ll have to carry a file containing the key handle around with you from computer to computer (where you want to use the Yubikey-resident SSH key). And if you ever lose the file, your key is lost too!

This is because SSH doesn’t have a centralized RP model that’s kind of implied in FIDO and WebAuthN for non-resident keys.
