SSHing to a remote host and get Too many authentication failures?

Perhaps beause you have a number of private keys (in .ssh, in your keychain, forwarded by your ssh agent) that all are tried and thus exceed the number of authentication tries (configurable via MaxAuthTries server-side). All you want is type the damn password.

Solution: ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no host
