You could create a public key that is protected by a passphrase.  That is
about as secure as using a password.

Try that and see how it works. 

(someone recently posted the instructions they use internally for using
ssh/cvs like this.  You could check the archives for that.  If those
instructions say do not enter a passphrase, then you should enter one
anyway).
