Authentication failed
Everytime I try to open my console it gives me: Authentication failed in the gray box next to IP. My screen just stays black. How to fix this?

same issue here.. cannot login via ssh root@myip and using the console I even reset the password and still cannot login.. :/
I don't like to reply without actually giving an answer, but I have the same issue. Logging in through "normal" ssh (i.e. via the computer's terminal) isn't working either. As usual, the Digital Ocean status page shows nothing relevant.
I also created a new droplet and got the same error! i am lucky I didn't delete the older one because I thought I locked my self out (somehow).....
