Description

I would like to be able to create a user that can only login via SSH key, but a password is required and there is no documented "disabled" password value that I can see.

The proper way to enact this is to change the global authentication value for SSH to allow only public key authentication:

This may work for me, but I'll note that the sshd-key-only option is global and not per-user. Thanks.
