I’ve always been told that ssh is not supposed to work non-interactively. Which is the whole reason for sshpass, to work non-interactively. Ie. Broken by design.
I can argue that SSH password auth only makes sense.as in interactive affair; for non-interactive auth cases, there are public keys, certificates, smart cards, etc.
I totally agree, but sometimes you have no other choice (e.g. devices that only offer password auth), and in that case it is claimed that sspass is bad ("broken by design" according to the passh author) and passh is good. And that's what I'm confused about
