No machine passwords or SSH keys needed. Everything is replaced by your Tailscale account or SSO. I can move between laptops by just installing and logging into Tailscale.

This could be viewed also as a risk. But sure, easy is nice.

Yea definitely! That's what I mentioned under `Less security`.

More specifically:

Less security: Cloudflare Tunnel didn't replace authentication, but Tailscale SSH does. This means Tailscale could SSH (and access files) into my machine if they wanted to, but Cloudflare can't. With Cloudflare, I still had to authenticate with my private key.
