Capistrano: Supply password from local variable for ssh sign-in so that there is no prompt

I was wondering if it is possible to use an asked password for the ssh login, the interaction_handler doesn't seem to work for this task. So far I have:

ask :ip, 'Enter the ip of the server: '
fetch(:ip)
ask :pw, 'Enter user password: ', echo: false
fetch(:pw)

on "user@" + fetch(:ip) do
  execute "echo 'Hi.'", interaction_handler: {"user@#{fetch(:ip)}'s password" => "#{fetch(:pw)}\n"}
end

On that execute line, it tries to log into the server and the server prompts for the password. How can I supply it with the one stored in :pw?

Solution

    host = SSHKit::Host.new('[email protected]')
host.password = "hackme"

on host do |host|
  puts capture(:echo, "I don't care about security!")
end
