Code tags temporarily suspend html formatting so spacing, indenting etc. are preserved and monospace fonts are used. They work like [CODE] code or data text [/CODE]; you can enter them manually or highlight the text and press the Image button in the editor toolbar. For strings or small partial text lines, use [ICODE] tags.

scp -r tstnglbz1:/export/home/mchavoshi/bin .

do
  ssh -t "root@$host" "passwd"
done 3< "$filename"

For every host it prompts for an interactive password, two times,
but if you can use copy/paste then it's a matter of paste-enter-paste-enter,...
