I have my server set up to connect via SSH on my laptop. Is there a way to set up the same server so it can be accessed with a non-SSH password in case I want to get in from a different computer?
Hello,
Yes indeed as Amiy mentioned you need to enable SSH password authentication
To do that must login to your server and edit this file:
sudo /etc/ssh/sshd_config
The find this line:
PasswordAuthentication no
And update it to:
PasswordAuthentication yes
After that, you have to restart the SSH service. You can use this command
sudo systemctl restart ssh
Hope that this helps!

Bobby
Use your root or user password. If you aren’t able to use password edit /etc/ssh/sshd.conf file to allow password authentication.
