Cause
TPAM is expecting a password: prompt, however versions of FreeBSD after 9.0 change the prompt to "Password for username@servername" -
Resolution
WORKAROUND 1
Revert the FreeBSD prompt back to the standard prompt, this can be done by modifiying the sshd PAM config filehttps://forums.freebsd.org/threads/sshd-custom-password-prompt.38184/
WORKAROUND 2
Use the 'Custom Platform' feature introduced in 2.5.911+ to create a new platform for FreeBSD
