@Cully Sometimes you want to use different accounts, in order to isolate the access to the repositories from different devices. In that case (my case) the platform (for example BitBucket) doesn't allow you to share the same public key across different accounts.

A byproduct of doing this is that it's really easy to identify which key does what.
