With SSH Keys, do you have to just carry around your private key everywhere on a usb or something if you want to connect from multiple locations? Sometimes I find myself somewhere I've never been and I want to connect to my server. With a password that's easy, I just type it in, but I can't exactly create a new private key to access the server when I don't have access to the server in the first place

Some password managers expose SSH agent socket, so you can do that instead of fumbling with files.
password managers can store ssh private keys, though there's still the problem of you've been mugged, have no cellphone wallet or keys, and need to break back into your life.
