ssh without a key just using password on esx 7.0

[dee2]

Hi,

Is it possible to ssh to an esxi host from a remote machine Without using a ssh key. I don't want add my public key on the host.

Can I just ssh using root password?

Thanks

Yes, you can use the root password to ssh into the esxi host. You just need to remove the SSH key from the esxi host and restart the SSH service and try again.
