/bin/false is *not* security

True /bin/false doesn't give login to users ( i also use that as one of my system firming methods), but you don't want password auth logins at all, safer still to use key auth only for SSH.
So I don't think its "secure" either, as the password can still be gotten with password auth

Better to use key based login - then only users with access... have access.
