Auto login to SSH without keys? [duplicate]

Question

I am looking for a way to ssh to a machine, without using SSH keys. When I try to pass the password

    echo "password" | ssh user@machine

It just gives me an stdin error

How do I SSH without using keys (and without installing anything would be preferred)

or you can use expect as it may have been installed on your system already. If not, you can get information about how to install and use it from this page: expect.sourceforge.net — MelBurslan

Is not a good practice to login with on-line password.

I know you're asking a way to do this without installing something is preferred, but what I use is sshpass package.

$ sudo apt-get install sshpass

Then execute the following

$ sshpass -p 'PASSWORD' ssh user@machine

Give a try.
