Hello, I tried every possible method and tutorial that exists in the internet but ssh still wants me to connect the commands with public,key and password
For example i try command ip-copy-id -i id_rsa.pub user@ip-address it will want me my password and than permission denied (public key, password)
anyone have any suggestions the others solution i tried was nano command, keygen etc…

Hi @akselseri,
You need to add your key in the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file on your Kali installation. That’s it, there is nothing more than that.
If you are receiving permission denied (public key, password) this means your server for whatever reason can’t read the ssh key you’ve added to it. This can be due to ownership, permissions or your SSH and SSHD config which can be found in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config.
