Yes. PasswordAuthentication enables one of ssh authentication protocols (password). Another protocol is ChallengeResponse (keyboard-interactive).

I see. And, guessing, "password" is scriptable while keyboard-interactive is not. Maybe, as 'mc' has to call "something" to start sftp, it uses techniques akin to scripting. I don't know how easy would be for 'mc' to support keyboard-interactive instead. Then that is what we have to request upstream? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
