I have remote machine which I connect with ssh like this:

ssh -i /path/to/private_key loginName@my.remote.machine.com -L 5901:localhost:5901

Each time I connect I receive:

Enter passphrase for key '/path/to/private_key':

I wonder how to prevent entering password each time? I.e. is that possible to permanently explain to remote machine that I am authorized user and it can trust me?

P.S. When I issue cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine I can see my public key content. But it looks like remote machine always ignore it or something like that…

    Your SSH key is passphrase protected. The server isn’t prompting you for a password, your local machine is asking for the passphrase to use the SSH key you provided.

    Information to remove the passphase can be found here: How do I remove the passphrase for the SSH key without having to create a new key?
