> Problem 2. Now you have to handle prompt. Some Cfg tools are capable but is quite painful for others, which means you can't automate 2nd auth. Actually you can automate like 2nd auth there are paid service out there offer API.

You can use ssh-agents for this. Some people consider that cheating though |;)

Sorry maybe I am not aligned, ssh-agent for handling password prompt? ssh-agent afaik is useful for going from A->B and then B carrying that over to C,D,E,F,G etc

Maybe we're talking about different things then? If you use the agent, you only have to handle the prompt once, then it's cached. That's the automation I was replying about.
