title: VSCode remote developement using ssh with passphrase protected ssh-key
body: <p>I have a remote ssh server on which I want to do remote developement.<br />
  My public key is added to the authorized keys on the server and my private key is passphrase protected.</p>
  <p>I added the remote host as described <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> using <code>ssh user@host -i ~/.ssh/key</code></p>
  <p>But whenever I try to open a new VSCode window on the remote host it fails and I see in the log that the connection timed out, which is expected because I don't get asked for my private-key passphrase.</p>
  <p>I read <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> post on remote development using ssh and I searched on google but couldn't find any hints to what I could do to enable/enter ssh-key passphrase while connecting to remote host.</p>
  <p>I know I can connect to the remote using a non-passphrase-protected key but I'm not asking for that, I want to know if it's possible to connect to a remote host from VSCode using a passphrase protected key.</p>
