Bonus info!

How to use the authfile to get password-free ssh-ing despite
the pubkeys scheme not being used ...

Put this in ~/.emacs.d/ssh-pass.el

(require 'auth-source)

(message (auth-source-pick-first-password
          :host "..."
          :user "...") )

machine ... login ... port ... password ...

(for host, state the machine; for user, the login. quotes are
used in the Elisp script but not in the authfile)

I have the port sunos-ssh which is defined as a Tramp method
[last]

Then use a shell function

#! /bin/zsh

mic () {
    local pass=$(emacs --batch --load ~/.emacs.d/ssh-pass.el 2>&1)
    sshpass -p $pass \
            ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=120 ${USER}@${HOST}
}
