Execute ssh with password authentication via windows command prompt

I need to execute ssh from windows command line by providing password in a non interactive manner. I could implement the key based authentication and able to execute the ssh commands just like 

ssh <user>@<host> <command>

Is there any commands like 

ssh <user>@<host> -P <password> <command>

enter image description here

I don't know if it is feasible. However, there can be some work around for the same. Throw me some ideas to accomplish the same.

  • PuTTY's plink has a command-line argument for a password. Some other suggestions have been made in the answers to this question: using Expect (which is available for Windows), or writing a launcher in Python with Paramiko.
