Description
Hello,
I am trying to create new SFTPSession = New-SFTPSession -ComputerName "Abc.com" -Credential Get-Credential -KeyFile $key -ConnectionTimeout 60 -AcceptKey
Where authentication type is Password and Public Key but it seems like it not allowing to connect and getting error : New-SSHSession : Reached authentication attempt limit for method (publickey).
I think the password here it is accepting is only for KeyPhrase password.
Is there any alternate solution to create Session for Password and key Authentication?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the New-SFTPSession command with both -Credential and -KeyFile, then inspect how New-SFTPSession passes authentication to New-SSHSession. Compare the handling of the credential password with the key passphrase. Done means identifying a working authentication path or clearly documenting the supported behavior.
