I dont see that option when I ssh to a machine. If you want better defaults then offer them. I was being deliberately obtuse but barely.
I recommend you do set up key authentication. You'll get more convenient logins and better security. This page should document how to do it: https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/copy-id
I suppose what the parent is saying is that's not the default. Fresh install of anything is still password and GitHub key import isn't a panacea.
