I'm about to jump out of my Windows at this point, because the documentation is so appallingly bad for openssh... especially for Windows.

Tried making a key-pair on local AND remote machine, using dsa AND rsa, creating "authorized_keys" AND "authorized_keys2" and it keeps asking for a password. The documentation suggests that by default key authentication should come first, but exactly how to implement that is horrifically vague.
