 How to reproduce:

 1. Create a bookmark with an SFTP connection, Username and Password (don't
 check "Use Public Key Authentication"), and check the "Add to Keychain"
 checkbox.
 2. Open the connection and exit Cyberduck. (The password is now stored in
 the OS X Keychain.)
 3. Open Cyberduck again and go to that bookmark. The "Login failed" dialog
 pops up ("Exhausted available authentication methods. Please contact your
 web hosting service provider for assistance."), prompting for the "Private
 Key Passphrase", with the "Use Public Key Authentication" checkbox
 automatically checked, ~/.ssh/id_dsa shown beneath. (The site I use allows
 SFTP connections with username/password, but no PKA.)

 If I move away my ~/.ssh folder (which contains PKs for other sites)
 temporarily, Cyberduck uses the stored password and logs into the SFTP
 site without error.

 The bookmark should probably memorise the preferred authentication method
 for the site and not switch to PKA only because a ~/.ssh/id_dsa file is
 present.
