Hi,
I tried to set up a combination of password and Google’s PAM but it didn’t work.
Without adding: ‘AuthenticationMethods publickey,password publickey,keyboard-interactive’ to /etc/ssh/sshd_config I was allowed to login with just the Google Auth code, but wasn’t asked for the password.
With that line added I got ‘Permission denied’.
So I guess it’s the ‘AuthenticationMethods’ line that is failing (since it specifically includes publickey, which I don’t use). I tried to edit it in various wayd but without success. How should it be written in order to ask for pw and Google Auth code?
Best wishes! David

Hello,
I will recommend you to use an ssh-key and the Google Auth code as it will be a lot more secure instead of using the password for the droplet.
However, if you want to use a password with Google Auth you should be able to set up this via the
/etc/ssh/sshd_configfile :This is listed as Step 3 in the tutorial.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
