Hello, @bsdaminut
Could you please let me know if you want to have both as authentication method when connecting to your server, e.g to have the password option if you connect from machine that doesn’t have the key needed for password less login?
If you want to enable password level authentication you need to set the PasswordAuthentication to yes in the sshd config file.
What you have to do is edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and provide PasswordAuthentication with a value of Yes.
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Find:
PasswordAuthentication no
press i for insert mode
Change to:
PasswordAuthentication yes
Save and Close
[escape] :wq
Restart Your SSH deamon:
sudo systemctl restart ssh
Some systems make require
sudo systemctl restart sshd
Hope this helps!
Regards, Alex
