Description:
When configuring a new remote server, I uncheck the box labeled, "Enable SSH login based administration".  When I click "next", I receive a pop-up:

Input Password

Enter SSH password for @192.168.1.110

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Don't prompt for SSH password when SSH administration is deselected.

I confirm.  This would be very useful.  I use a two part auth (Yubikey)so every login uses a different password.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.12 changelog:

In the Create a new server instance wizard, if the checkbox Enable SSH login based administration was cleared, the wizard still prompted the user to enter an SSH password when the Next button was clicked.
