Thanks for the awesome project.
I am currently testing the-bastion and It looks like to me that if I lost my private key that was added to the bastion server as an ingress key, I lost the connection to the bastion server. I still can log in to the host of the bastion server, but I found no binary or command that I can enter the interactive interface from the host.

I have been using sshportal for a few years and looking for an alternative because it has been inactivated for a long time and would like to migrate to a more activated project in case not supported by a future OS.

sshportal using a token(like, invite:BpLnfgDsc2WD8F2q) when first logging into the bastion and if the token is vaild, it will add the current SSH key to the account associated with the token which means I can add myself to bastion as long as I still have the token in hand which is handy compared to keep the private key in the password manager or maybe there is a better way to archive this.

Would like to know if I can log in to the bastion using other than a key pair in case the private key has been lost or on a new device that access to the bastion is needed. A password auth maybe? And would like to know if the token part as above can be a feature request.

Thanks,
