Seems pretty cool - I've just installed it and having a play with it. A couple of questions:

1. So I have to update all my servers to use my Kryptonite SSH key from the current Private Keys that I have?

2. This solution still doesn't allow me to SSH into my servers from another machine that doesn't have my private keys on it (such as a colleague's Mac), does it?

1. You have to upload your Kryptonite public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on all the servers you want to access with your Kryptonite key. Take a look at the unlisted command `kr add`to help with this. It automatically adds your kryptonite public key to a server you specify: i.e. `kr add user@server` add your Kryptonite public key to the authorized_keys file for account `user` on `server`.

2. It does actually. All you need to do is pair with your colleague's mac. Run `kr pair` on their machine, Kryptonite can be paired with unlimited computers such as your work and home computers. You'll be able to ssh to all your servers using the Kryptonite key.

Ah! Great - thank you. Overall, I am amazed at the simplicity of managing keys using this platform.

Well as of now it apparently manages one key.
