How about accessing a remote server WITH password

[davidedelvento]

I know what the documentation says about this issue however my remote server does require a password and there is no way I can change that (ssh keys or other auth means are not supported). My users will be ok with it.

Is there any technical reasons (such as this) that apply here and would prevent this from working? I see most of the ssh invocations are happening via pexpect and that should be able to handle the password, however I've never done it. If you think this could work, I'll be happy to work on a PR

👍 we have this issue too at the Met Office. Has the thinking developed on how this might be solved?

I don't think anybody cared about this. In our setting things have moved on with other options, namely installing JupyterHub from inside the HPC system and having the authentication work from there.
