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.
