My ssh key is password protected (which is fundamental security practice).
Alas, sshping does not support this yet AFAICS.

Totally agree. It's fundamental that this supports passphrases for identity files. This is not useful unless it does. I personally have 0 keys without passphrases.

Many of us have our keys protected, with passphrases; but, we run a local ssh-agent, so never have to do any special authentication steps with sshping.

However, I totally agree, it should be supported, however also, since I think that sshping makes multiple connections during a run, waiting for a person to enter authentication data each time may very much confuse the reported timings (as sshping would not know that the delay was for authentication).
