So, I just ran into this again. And it's really really annoying. There are
times when I'm configuring things that I need to use the ssh password. It's
far simpler just to set the password in the inventory/host_vars file and
leave it there, than to have to set it, then remember to remove it once
When I'm first setting up a vm, I need to set which user to use and the ssh
and sudo passwords.
So, my host file looks something like:
[apache]
192.168.77.2 ansible_ssh_user=vagrant ansible_ssh_pass=vagrant
ansible_sudo_pass=vagrant
[mysql]
192.168.77.3 ansible_ssh_user=vagrant
If you have ansible_ssh_pass set, ansible explicitly sets -o
PubkeyAuthentication=no which disables the use of SSH public key auth.

It is not specifically documented other than the code itself:
