support ssh with password

Is support password for ssh connection?

I guess the question was about support for password authentication. Spot does not support password authentication and is unlikely to offer this feature in the future.

Why not support the password? It is more simple.

[umputun]

two reasons:

1. it is extra functionality with a new flag, like --ask-passwd or something like this. It should be developed, tested, and maintained.
2. Generally, I don't see a good use case for this. The tool is for running automated deployments, and involving such a manual step feels odd.

Saying this, I may think of some semi-valid use cases, for example, testing a playbook against a new host. So, if someone wants to offer a PR limited to the interactive password support, I'll consider it.

It is more simple using password if run only once on host.
