You come to expect better but then you can only roll your eyes and face-palm when even “the best” do something this stupid.

To be fair it’s on your own device, not the server.

Doesn’t… doesn’t then OpenSSH client store keys in text files?

I’m trying to figure out how this is an issue, other than maybe Signal should be using an OS level keystore.
