Hello, @voltrue2

I would recommend you to check this two articles as they should help you to sort this out:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys–2
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/add-ssh-keys/

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @voltrue2,

It’s possible the key is not correct anymore or something is missing.

I’ll recommend you to take the key from the following file

cat ~/.ssh/id_pub.rsa

And put the contents on your droplet in the following place manually

vi ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Once you have, you should be able to login without a problem.

Regards,
KDSys
