You should really install fail2ban, just for peace of mind. If you dont, at the very least setup SSH keys.
You mean key based SSH authentication? Yes, but if you have done so and this is the only attack vector, I do not see the need for fail2ban.
unless I have an insecure password or a security vulnerability in sshd, how would it be a problem? I haven't had any issues for the last 6 years.
I was making a joke. I already have rate limiting protecting my Authelia login page.
