  • SSH is 'Secure shell'. It automatically encrypts and sends the password and username. There is no need for further encryption.

You can use Logging in with SSH private key in windows

In this link, they’re demonstrating how to load a private key into PuTTY. You’ll need two pieces of software to complete this task:

  1. PuTTY - Client to for managing SSH sessions

  2. PuTTYgen - Tool for managing and creating SSH key pairs

This way you no need to pass the password explicitly on the command line.

As an alternate method, if you install posh-git in your windows you could use ssh command from the powershell prompt with ssh config file pointing to the identity key. Refer Link
