'bypass' means setting ``StrictHostKeyChecking=no`` and ``UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null``,
which will permit egress connections in all cases, even when host keys change all the time on the same target.
This effectively suppress the host key checking entirely. Please don't enable this blindly.
'default' will remove this account's ``StrictHostKeyChecking`` setting override.
All the other policies carry the same meaning that what is documented in `man ssh_config`.
--personal-egress-mfa-required POLICY Enforce UNIX password requirement, or TOTP requirement, or any MFA requirement, when connecting to a server
using the personal keys of the account, POLICY can be 'password', 'totp', 'any' or 'none'
--always-active yes|no Set or unset the account as always active (i.e. disable the check of the 'active' status on this account)
