sshpky

sshpky-zsh-plugin is an oh-my-zsh plugin designed to streamline SSH connections by automating password input and securely managing credentials. It replaces the standard ssh command with sshpky, which interacts with the system's keychain to store and retrieve passwords, eliminating the need for manual entry after the first login.

Key Features

• Password Management — Automatically saves SSH passwords to the system keychain upon first successful login and retrieves them for subsequent connections.
• SSH Command Replacement — Provides a sshpky command that wraps standard SSH, adding automated password handling.
• Multi-Factor Authentication Support — Handles Google Authenticator MFA codes for services like JumpServer, storing the secret key after successful authentication.
• oh-my-zsh Integration — Functions as a plugin within the oh-my-zsh framework, activated by adding it to the plugins list in .zshrc.

Philosophy

The plugin prioritizes convenience and security by automating repetitive SSH password entry while leveraging the operating system's native credential storage to keep sensitive data protected.
