Thanks, No I don't think that this is more secure. It's just convenient because you do not have to enter your password all the time.
With password based login you can create 2048-4096 bits passwords too.
So basically this is a very similar to password based logins, the difference is just that you do not have to type it from your keyboard, but store in a txt file in your SSH client's folder.
But if somebody steal your or hack your desktop PC, then he will access to your VPS servers too.
This is why I like better to use passwords and KeePass.
