This issue is to address an improvement of user usage when the user don't know how to generate a OpenSSH key pair.

Personally I dont like this idea. Someone willing to access a remote host via ssh, should at least know how to generate a key pair. We can put a tutorial/how-to, it is the most common approach when dealing with this kind of problem, most cloud services just tell the user how to generate a key pair.

This is a great point, but it seems to me that it only contemplates *nix or terminal users. It may be that users of Windows or graphical interfaces have more difficulty because the login with keys may not be habitual. It may be that on other clouds, these users use only passwords.

I believe that with some user feedback we will know if this issue is relevant. We can close it and reopen later.
