Research direction

Start by locating the SSH Tunnel tab entry point and its current key-based authentication flow. Determine how an optional password is represented and handled, then verify that the tab can establish a tunnel with password authentication while preserving key-based connections.

Description

enhancement

I have an SSH connection that uses a password to authenticate, not an SSH key. Can this be added as an option to 'SSH Tunnel' tab?
