πŸ’– SSH-FORCE-PASSWORD(1) πŸ’–

okay bestie so this is the manual page for ssh-force-password, living in the User Commands corner of your man pages. it's a lil guy, but it does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly. ✨


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

ssh-force-password β€” enforces password authentication

like. that's the whole job. it enforces password authentication. periodt. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

ssh-force-password [DEFAULT SSH OPTIONS] hostname

so you call it, you can hand it all your usual SSH options like it's no big deal ([DEFAULT SSH OPTIONS] β€” the standard ones you already know and love, nothing new invented here, iykyk), and then you give it a hostname. that's the whole shape of it. 🫢


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so if you're out here testing passwords (for legit reasons, bestie, we're being so normal about this πŸ™ˆ), this is the tool whose entire main character energy is making sure password auth is what gets used. no cap. that's the vibe check it passes. πŸ’€


🌟 reminder: the original page keeps it short and sweet β€” there are literally no options, exit statuses, environment variables, files, or SEE ALSO refs listed beyond the ones above. so don't come for me, i kept every single crumb. πŸ“

this iconic lil page comes to you from SSH-TOOLS, dated March 2024 β€” tysm for reading, mwah, go forth and test responsibly. πŸ’œπŸ§šβ­
