Hi,

The settings descriptor as described here has a field for "passphrase"
for use with private keys:
http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-settings/settings.html#class_server

However adding a passphrase to this file is not a very secure way of
doing things. At least on unix systems, if ssh-agent is running and has
the key loaded then the passphrase can be left out. It would be nice to
add this to the documentation..

For example:

passphrase:
  The passphrase used in conjunction with the privateKey
  to authenticate. Not needed if ssh-agent is already
  running and has the appropriate key loaded.

Regards,
Simon
