I’ve been using the DigitalOcean API and specifying SSH keys for my droplets and I saw some posts about disabling password auth, so I went digging and all my droplets had it off already. I assume this is because I specified the SSH keys. Is there documentation specifying this behavior? I would like to have something to point at when asked.
