You don't. Authenticate with keys instead (If you can, if
remotemachine is not under your control, the sysadmin could have
disable authentication by keys, but that would be really stupid). See
the man pages of ssh. And don't encrypt the private key, or you will
have the same problem with the passphrase as you now have with the
password.

1. ssh-keygen (You might need to use the -t option to specify a ssh
version 2 type of key).
2. ssh-copy-id username@remotemachine.com
Should be it.
