The servers on site simply use password authentication. The only machine I ever interact with that requires a key is my server at home. When I ssh into my home machine, I get only the prompt for the passphrase I created for my key and boom, I'm in. When I connect to one of the local machines, I'm forced to first enter the passphrase to my id_rsa key THEN the password for the server.
I hope that is a little clearer... I don't know how else to explain.
