Can't open new console - "all authentication methods failed"

Posted on August 12, 2021

I’m trying to open new console from browser, but after messgaes “registering ssh”, then “connecting to droplet”, I’m getting “all authentication methods failed” and black screen. Yesterday everything was working and I haven’t changed anything.

My system clock was four hours behind, probably caused by switching between operating systems.

The console worked after correcting my system clock.

Would love to know if there is a fix for this. Getting the same error as the OP. I intentionally have root access disallowed over ssh for security reasons and am wondering if there is a workaround.
