I was facing the same issue but then I followed this article https://medium.com/@hidace/how-to-ssh-into-a-digitalocean-server-after-getting-permission-denied-publickey-error-77b687c2880d
Hi @JATR
Have you setup your droplet with keys, then you need to copy that key to the other computer in order to access your droplet. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-ssh-keys-with-putty-on-digitalocean-droplets-windows-users
If you’re using passwords only, then you have probably configured something wrong in your client on the other computer. Please tell which program you’re using.
