passwordless auth is not a great idea. having a passphrase while painful, is no less painful than a password and helps you... WinSCP, Putty (pagent) allows you to cache passphrases so you don't have to re-enter them all the time. Enter it once, at least if your machine is stolen, the password will no longer be cached, so the home box is still safe.
