I’m pretty confident that /etc/shadow contains the hashed password, but I’m not clear on whether it includes anything else like SSH keys.

I remember practicing a question about user information, and I think the UID is stored in /etc/passwd, not /etc/shadow.

I think /etc/shadow definitely stores the hashed password, but I'm not sure about the other options.
