            Bug ID: 3086
           Summary: Ssh, scp (6.2p2 or 7.4p1) can't support the way to
                    enter the private key password in a non-interactive
                    way.
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.4p1
          Hardware: ix86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org

Ssh and scp (6.2p2 or 7.4p1) can't support the way to input the private
key password in a non-interactive manner. As a result, the program
automatically executes ssh/scp, which is difficult to use. Generally,
the private key of the null password can only be used, which poses a
security risk. At the same time, private key encryption is an optional
method. If you use errors, there is also a security risk. It is
recommended that the software support automatic encryption of private
keys, which is safe by default.
