Comment # 6 on bug 13012 from 
I personally find the lack to provide a password on the openssh command line
(or at least the config file) to be very patronizing. There are environments
where using key simply isn't an option, and in some environments typing in a
password is a way higher risk of compromising it than having it stored in a
file. So nowadays there are wrappers around the ssh client only to work around
this restriction. Also, on single user systems there is not really any security
advantage compared to live typing the password, or is there?
