I understand some of the Nitrokeys can offer 20 RSA key pairs and 30 ECC ones; mine, the 'storage' version, only supports 3 + 3 but also offers Gbytes of encrypted memory that I trust reasonably unreachable...
Thus my very naive question : is it really less safe to store keys on an encrypted Nitrokey volume?

(answering to myself) OK, sorry for second part the above. Obviously, just mounting the Nitrokey encrypted volume means any borked system can access my precious keys...
