>From sshd2_config man page:

AllowedAuthentications
        This keyword specifies the authentications  methods
        that  are  allowed.  This is a comma-separated list
        currently consisting of the following words:  pass�
        word,  publickey  and hostbased.  Each specifies an
        authentication  method.  The   default   is   "pub�
        lickey,password".   With   RequiredAuthentications,
        sysadmin  can  force  users  to  complete   several
        authentications  before they are considered authen�
        ticated.
