SSH auth with password?

[kaplan-michael]

Hello, I was wondering if there are plans to support ssh/& openssh connections with password(without keys)

Is it intentionally not supported?
I suppose I can build my own AuthMethod to patch that in, but it would be nice to have it in the core config.

edit: without keys(missed that)

I believe that you have two options:

1. use ssh-agent with the key added
2. use your own AuthMethod as you suggested.

I think this is something that should not be done, ssh has already solved this with ssh-agent.

I probably badly worded it there. I meant without keys(eg. if the only option to connect is with passwords) I suppose I'll setttle on the AuthMethod. Thanks

I do wonder if I'm able to do something similar to an auth method with the openssh?
AFAIK ssh-agent can't deal with password only auth(and for various reasons, keys might not always be an option)
