Auto login to SSH without keys?

Question

I am looking for a way to ssh to a machine, without using SSH keys. When I try to pass the password

    echo "password" | ssh user@machine

It just gives me an stdin error

How do I SSH without using keys (and without installing anything would be preferred)

or you can use `expect` as it may have been installed on your system already. If not, you can get information about how to install and use it from this page: http://expect.sourceforge.net/ — MelBurslan, Feb 08 '16 at 22:34

Is not a good practice to login with on-line password.

I know you're asking a way to do this without installing something is preferred, but what I use is sshpass package.

$ sudo apt-get install sshpass

Then execute the following

$ sshpass -p 'PASSWORD' ssh user@machine

Give a try.
