While possible, it's highly discouraged. SSH keys are significantly more secure than passwords. Password-based authentication is vulnerable to brute-force attacks. For enhanced security, disable password authentication in your SSH server configuration (`/etc/ssh/sshd_config`) and rely solely on SSH keys.
