As already noted on the list, the "Password:" prompt is due to
keyboard-interactive authentication, whereas the '<username>@<host>'s
password:' prompt is due to password authentication. In most cases, you
only want to have one of these authentication methods enabled.
So, using "-oKbdInteractiveAuthentication=no" should have addressed your
issue. What pormpts did you get in that case?
