SSH private key - Ask for passphrase each time
I would like to be able to enter the SSH private key passphrase every time I connect to the DB like in NoSQLBooster or Robo 3T.

Yess! Never seen something like this before. Why would I want to store my passphrase on my filesystem? And next to the link to my ssh key?! Definitely an unnecessary security risk. At least the passwords are basically encrypted when stored. (connectionSecrets: 'encrypted-password' in source code)
Excerpt from connection file:
"sshTunnel": {
"host": "domain.example",
"port": 22,
"username": "foo",
"identityKeyFile": "/home/bar/.ssh/id_rsa"
}When exporting connections, it stores the key in plaintext:
"identityKeyPassphrase": "MyPersonalTestPassphrase"
