This is because you have configured ssh to use a pass phrase. Run
'ssh-keygen -p', and when asked to type in a new pass phrase just type
return / enter. You can now use ssh without the pass phrase.
WARNING!!! Doing the above on a widely available machine is dangerous.
Anyone who can break into your account can use it to log into other
machines.
