We contradict our own advice about forgetting about ssh keys

[maneesha]

What is the problem?

In the section about keeping ssh keys secure, first we say that you can set it and forget it, but immediately after we have a callout that says you shouldn't forget about your ssh keys because they keep your account secure.

We should clarify this language to make it less confusing.

I think this was done on purpose. It says "you can forget..." but then the callout says "...but don't actually", and it's a callout because this is more of a detail. Would it help if it said "you shouldn't actually forget...", so that it's clear we are purposefully referencing the previous sentence?

I think this can be confusing to a novice learner, to say "You can forget it, but don't really forget it." More explicit language may be more useful here.
