Most likely you just need to load your key into your host machines ssh-agent - For MacOS or Linux you can use the following…
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add /path/to/private/key
or
ssh -i /path/to/private/key username@droplet
-
-
try issuing
killall ssh-agentfirst - if you have multiple keys then it may be trying the wrong ones first which cause it to fail out.
