I frequently use SCP to transfer files between my laptop and Jolla, but for the sake of safety, I enable SSH only when I need it. This is where the problem occurs: it's really nice, when you have a memorable, but hard-to-guess password, which is safe enough for not changing it; as a consequence of current implementation, I have to set my password each time I want to copy something over. It's really inconvenient. Is there a way to keep the password persistant (after/with pressing the save button)?

P.S. I know about SSH keys, and use them frequently, but I'd prefer not to use them now.
