I have ubuntu server at home, and I use SSH keys to log in via terminal from my laptop. Rarely, but mostly from work, I need to access this server, but I dont want to copy keys on my work laptop - Id rather just use plain password for that.

So if I enable password log in from ssh config file, it will ask me password on my laptop too even though it contains keys, right?

Is there a way to stop this behavior?

Thanks.
