Hi there, newbie here. I followed a guide via digitalocean for generating an SSH key for my droplet server. However when I log into the server via putty it does not require me to authenticate with my key and I can log in without it. How do I make it so that my key is required for logging in via, say, Putty?
Thanks and best wishes

Hi,
In order to make key necessary every time when you ssh you have to make key necessary in sshd_config file which you would find in /etc/ssh/sshd_config most probably.
