Huh? ssh is much more secure than https.

Edit: the security is essentially the same, but having one password every machine vs individual ssh keys seems like a huge advantage to me. Also ssh means you don’t ever accidentally allow read access that you don’t mean to.

Well, the situation in this case seems to be the exact opposite, i.e. reusing the same SSH key for multiple repos Vs. being easily able to have different passwords for different repos with a password-manager.

How would you have different passwords for different repos?

On different forges, which is what OP was talking about.
