SSHPASS - automate SSH actions requiring a password?

The article discusses the use of a tool called sshpass, which allows users to hide their passwords in scripts that use SSH. Traditionally, when logging in via SSH, users must manually enter their password, which can be impractical for automating processes. Sshpass addresses this issue by enabling users to pass their password as an argument in the command. This can save time and make managing remote servers easier. The author also emphasizes the importance of being cautious about storing passwords in plaintext within scripts. Additionally, the article introduces various practical applications and demonstrates how to simply incorporate sshpass into daily use on Linux systems.
