So I’m trying to access to my server using my iOS device trough an App called Prompt 2, it’s connect via ssh.
My data in prompt is:
SHH | IP of the server Port | 22 Username | root Password | The password
the error I get is: “Credentials were not accepted by the server”
I tried with another VPS provider and worked with no problems. So I asume is something with Digital Ocean.
Anyone using this App was able to connect via ssh to Digital Ocean?

When you create a droplet with your public key the droplet is configured to accept public key authentication and refuse password authentication, I think this is your problem to make sure open this file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure that PasswordAuthentication is set to yes not no, then restart ssh with this command sudo servcie ssh restart
Hope this helps
