Disable ssh auth by keys

Question

Usually people try to disable ssh login with password only. I'm asking about reverse situation. Does sshd_config allow to disable authentication with keys only?

-1 because plain and simple, there is no good reason to do this. — EEAA, Sep 03 '14 at 01:23

As of today, one more option you may use AuthenticationMethods, please refer https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?sshd_config(5)

Please read doc carefully before apply.

PubkeyAuthentication
         Specifies whether public key authentication is allowed.  The
         default is ``yes''.  Note that this option applies to protocol
         version 2 only.
