In this article https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-ssh-keys-with-digitalocean-droplets Etel notes that we can turn off PasswordAuthentication by setting it to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config after we can successfully authenticate.
If we create a snapshot of droplet where this is allready done, to avoid having to do it every time, will everything still work as expected (Assuming I still have the same SSH keys on the client)?
Also could digital ocean just default this to no, since presumably if we are logging in with SSH, it really should be no?
