SSH’ing into your machine using a password is both a hassle and insecure. The proper way to remotely access your machine is with public-key authentication. To set this up:
On remote server you’re SSHing into
$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
On local machine you’re SSHing from
# Generate a file that will store your RSA private key. You will be
# prompted to provide a name for this file and a password to
# protect it. This file will be added to your ~/.ssh directory.
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
# Add your public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of your user on
# the remote server.
$ ssh-copy-id -i <your key name> <remote username>@<remote IP address>
To SSH into remote machine using the newly generated keys
$ ssh -i <path to your key> <remote username>@<remote IP address>
If you don’t want to be prompted for your SSH key password everytime
# Add to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc
eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add
