I presume you mean only the latter part (copying the private key to
another user account) is something that you shouldn't do?

I share the same ssh private key between my desktop server and my
laptop (both as the same user).  I don't see much reason to have two
separate keys for that.


Personally, I might use the same passphrase, but I think I would re- generate the keys on each device.
