Is it possible to have a second user account for ssh only?

I'd like to automate some aspects of my PS apps and scripts with a ci/cd pipeline and I'd rather not use the account with access to my billing information.

Or is there a better way? SSH keys instead of passwords? I guess that the API is out of the question since you can't dynamically start a shell with it.

We do not support multiple SSH logins for the same account. If you want to use key authentication instead of password authentication, we do support that: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/SSHAccess/

Thanks for the fast reply!

That's what I suspected...

Any plans on creating shells and executing commands via API?

That's something that we are considering, but we do not know whether or when we will do it.
