I believe OpenSSH and Dropbear both call it something like "disable password login". The text needn't necessarily correspond, but that'd make it harder to find documentation about it.

In the UI we have already feature related to login process and it's called Login without password (DANGEROUS) so I thought from UX perspective - to have them both similar will just make sense:
However I don't have a strong preference on that. I can think of:
Disable password login (SECURE);Disable password login (SECURE, key required);Disable password (SECURE);Disable password (SECURE, key required);Disable password login (key required);Disable password (key required);
At the same time Login without password and Disable password can mislead people.
