Disable Password Authentication for Remote Users Only

Disable Password Authentication for Remote Users Only

I've read how it is possible to disable password authentication on an
Ubuntu server. However, is it possible to disable this for remote users
only?
I'm afraid that, if I enable this both locally and remotely (as designed),
I will ultimately lose the key and lock myself out (over time). If I were
able to disable password authentication for remote users only, losing the
key wouldn't be so tragic; I could simply go to the LAN and login with a
password and create a new key.
