Currently (October 2017) the UniFi controller does not have an option in the UI to set ssh keys. One can be set using the above contents placed into the site's config.properties file (e.g., /usr/lib/unifi/data/sites/default/config.properties on Linux). The ssh-rsa key goes on the second line (without the common trailing user@host comment). The last line seems to work for disabling the password, even though it results in a duplicate line for users.1.password in the file.
