Did you disable passwords in ssh?
yes, the key has to be provided alongside with the paraphrase for it. So my issue isn't on the ssh side it's on the lock screen. I want to be able to at least make it a little harder to break past the lock screen if the phone was obtained after the disk has been decrypted. For instance let's say I was mugged carrying it - the power would still be on, I might not have access to get to the ssh quickly enough, and I would want the thief to not be able to take it to a tech savy person who could rig up a simple brute force to bypass the pin on lock screen.
