In addition, it's even <b>older</b> than SSHKeychain. SSHPassKey suffers from the same problem as the old SSHKeychain, that is to say it is non-universal.

Another neat SSH trick to save you typing is that of the SSH config file and hosts. In your ~/.ssh/config file, try adding the following: <blockquote> <code> host Hostname Port 22 ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 no </code> </blockquote> I'm not entirely sure what the "ForwardAgent" option does, but it seems to do the trick =) Anyways, after this you can connect to a server like this: ssh [login@]alias Where login is optional. Works like a charm!
