Hello, I hope my question is apt for this list. I am using OpenSSH_8.2p1 on Ubuntu 20.04. I connect to a remote SSH server with the -i /path/to/file identity file option. My local machine asks me for a password for the identity file. This is because I created a password when using ssh-keygen. However, after I exit from the SSH server, and log back in I am not asked for a password. Some kind of caching is happening. Is there a way to force the password to be asked on every occasion when using an identity file? I have searched but it looks as if everyone wants to avoid using passwords, not deliberately attempting to use them. Thank you. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
