It's called "Keyboard Interactive Authentication" for a reason (and
what you're asking for is certainly not keyboard interactive).

There is a standard (and secure) way to perform SSH authentication
using cached credentials; introducing a security hole by storing the
actual password because you're too lazy to set up a keypair (a
remedial task) is a really bad idea.
