Disable SSH password authentication once public key authentication is enabled.

PaLmd

Disable SSH password authentication, once you have private key authentication enabled.
After enabling public key authentication for SSH access, it is usually convenient to disable the password authentication. This helps to improve security in various ways, such as resistance to brute force attacks, etc.

Is it possible to disable password access to SSH?

    Thats currently not possible and i would rather recommend to limit the surface of SSH access in addition to SSH public key authentication.

    Disable SSH on all ports and only allow SSH from certain hosts (device access). 

    Use a long password for admin and create own administrator account to share with you and your colleagues.
