No, it will allow you to enter your passphrase of the ssh key at login/auth
time. If that passphrase works (i.e. is able to decrypt your idendity) it
will asume you are authorized. In addition to that it will feed the
passphrase to ssh-agent.
This is different from normal login, that you only need to give one
password, which is your login password and your ssh agent password. your
unix password will in that case never be checked.
