As long as the server supports it, the easy way to get it to do what you want is is to tell your client to try "password" authentication first (see PreferredAuthentications in ssh_config(5).

Yes, you are right, I get the "user@hostname's password:" prompt when using 'ssh -o "PreferredAuthentications=password" target'.


However, apart from using PAM, what is the difference between password and keyboard-interactive authentications?

And, what is the difference from the point of view of security? Are both equally secure?

Maybe there should be an FAQ entry for this.

Yeah, the question would be: "How can I configure the password prompt?", wouldn't?


Unfortunately, I don't know the answer.
