Hello,

I am trying to create new SFTPSession = New-SFTPSession -ComputerName "Abc.com" -Credential Get-Credential -KeyFile $key -ConnectionTimeout 60 -AcceptKey Where authentication type is Password and Public Key but it seems like it not allowing to connect and getting error : New-SSHSession : Reached authentication attempt limit for method (publickey). I think the password here it is accepting is only for KeyPhrase password. Is there any alternate solution to create Session for Password and key Authentication?

I have the same need. As almost of the University staff works from home, the infrastructure team decided to force to use a bastion (a unique server to connect ssh using JumpProxy option to go on the other server) and that one requires to use a key and a password to establish the connection. I have a lot of PowerShell scripts running on my computer that I can't use anymore because of th limitation. I think that the better solution is use a different parameter for the KeyPhrase instead of using the password of the credential and provide the password to the authentication process.

Same here. I need to be able to use username, password, and private keyfile. I need password to not be the keyfile passphrase. :/ Guess I'll stick with WinSCP for now.
