Description
The "*AutoConfigBackup Service*" section https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/autoconfigbackup.html
adding in "*Functionality and Benefits*" information about storing / no storing public SSH Key, IPsec Pre-Shared Key from User Properties tab for each user because this may impact on overall security level.

User SSH keys are public keys. There is nothing private/secret about them.
There is no more security loss by keeping user PSKs on there than by having them at all -- they are necessary for operation.
That is already covered by https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/password-security.html and to add warnings on every page would be very redundant.
