I think you may be confusing "no passwords" with no security. I assume
the respondent (whom you answered remarkably rudely) meant did you set
ssh up to use passkeys rather than passwords. As long as you keep the
passkey secure, the system security will be infinitely stronger using
RSA/DSA passkeys than a simple plaintext password.
