Hi,
Whenever I create a Debian 10 Droplet, I am able to access root using my SSH key just fine. But when I need to setup a non-superuser account and SSH to it, using this guide by DigitalOcean, it keeps on telling me that “Permission denied (public key).” I have followed every step of this guide. I have tried this solution posted here before, but PasswordAuthentication is off for me. You can see my sshd_config here. Can anyone please help me?
Thank you.

I think DigitalOcean updated the image, because the issue fixed itself recently.
Hello, @amirehmarwan
If you’ve added/copied the .ssh folder into the non root user’s home directory as mentioned in the article:
This should work fine. However you can try to ssh by adding
-vvvto your ssh command in order to get/receive a more verbose output, e.g:The provided output should help you to find out why the connection is failing and then we can further troubleshoot the connectivity issue.
Let me know how it goes.
