If sftp uses a pair of keys, what's the point of a userid or password?

SSH may use public/private key authentication, in which case all you
have to supply is a user id and of course a matching private key. The
user id is still required because a single public/private key pair may
allow access to multiple users.

It's pretty much the same as SSL/TLS, minus the PKI stuff, instead
relying on the capturing the public keys on known hosts.
