I don't believe there is a way to do that, though I could be wrong
since I've not found a need to do this.
What I've done and I imagine would work out best for you is to use ssh
key-based authentication. Combined with ssh-agent, you enter your ssh
key's password once at login and then you can ssh to other boxes
without needing to type any password.
Use ssh-keygen to generate a key pair (private key and public key).
Then copy the contents of the public key file (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, by
default) to the remote computer, in the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
Set the permissions of ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to 700 and
600, respectively (if either are writable by anyone other than the
owner, ssh will complain and not use the key).
After you do this, you should be able to run ssh user@host. You'll
get a prompt for the passphrase of the ssh key you generated. Enter
it to log in. Once that's working, log out and then use ssh-add to
add your key to the ssh-agent. Then ssh to the remote host again and
you should not be prompted.
