For the record… Sending a plain text password through email is just as insecure if not more insecure than sending a password to an API over SSL… Just saying.
We do not support this as it is not secure. You should use SSH keys instead: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-ssh-keys-with-digitalocean-droplets <br> <br><strong>https://api.digitalocean.com/droplets/new</strong> <br><pre>https://api.digitalocean.com/droplets/new?...&ssh_key_ids=[ssh_key_id1],[ssh_key_id2]</pre> <br><ul> <br><li>…</li> <br><li><strong>ssh_key_ids</strong> Optional, Numeric CSV, comma separated list of ssh_key_ids that you would like to be added to the server</li> <br><li>…</li> <br></ul>
