 I wonder if another approach might be to use public keys.

Usually, ssh tries public key authorization first (if keys have been set up)
and then tries password prompt if that fails, but I think it's possible to
configure sshd to ONLY use public keys. You might also be able to configure
it as a second sshd running on a different port than the default. ( Then you
could leave the port 22 version with it's ip restriction. )


In addition, you could make a script to change your keys regularly and
scp them to the other mac. But public keys are large enough to defeat the
usual hacker who is looking for an "open door" .
