+\cfg{winhelp-topic}{ssh.auth.pageant}
+
+If this option is enabled, then PuTTY will look for Pageant (the SSH
+private-key storage agent) and attempt to authenticate with any
+suitable public keys Pageant currently holds.
+
+This behaviour is almost always desirable, and is therefore enabled
+by default. In rare cases you might need to turn it off in order to
+force authentication by some non-public-key method such as
+passwords.
+
+This option can also be controlled using the \c{-noagent}
+command-line option. See \k{using-cmdline-agentauth}.
+
+See \k{pageant} for more information about Pageant in general.
