How to fall back to password authentication when using the SSH-Agent

Is there a way to fallback to password authentication and ignore the ssh-agent?

    Yes, you can use the PreferredAuthentications field in the SSH config. For example:

    ```
    Host some-host-to-authenticate-with-server-password
    PreferredAuthentications password

    Host some-host-with-server-password-fallback
    PreferredAuthentications publickey,password
    ```

    Interesting, that has no affect for me.
