    Hi,

    Is there a way to require both a password and a key when logging in to an SSH server?

    Thanks.

    Yes. What distro? Here is a howto for SuSE:

    One important note: That howto is for password-less login. When you follow along with that howto and use ssh-keygen, remember to enter a password instead of just hitting enter!

    For your distro and version, config file names and paths may differ slightly.

    You can authenticate against the public key, or the user's password, but NOT both. This is different from password protecting the key.
