Serious question: why doesn't OpenSSH declare, with about a year's notice ahead of time, the intent to cut a new major release that drops support for password-based authentication?
- janosdebugs 2y agoThere are very legit reasons to use passwords, for example in conjunction with a second factor. Authentication methods can also be chained.
- jamesrr39 2y agoBy the time it gets into distros' package managers, is it not often that long (or more) anyway?
- DEADMINCE 2y agoPassword authentication is still entirely necessary. I don't want to have to setup keys just to ssh into a VM I just setup, as one very minor example.
