> Why disallow password login when you have 30 char password?

I only disallow password login over SSH. It's still technically possible to log in at a virtual console (like tty1 / tty2 / etc.) using a password (btw only root has a 30 characters password).

Usually you do not allow to directly log in as root by SSH: but in my case it's basically the way I want it done. So I allow root to log in by using SSH but only with a Yubikey.
