×Another suggestion, make sure your /home/youruser/.ssh folder permissions is 700, because if everything else is ok, ssh can not read the public key from .ssh/authorizedkey i think. This worked for me.
Worked for me too (created the .ssh dir with root, hence root owned it…)
Once you created user, you need to add SSH key to that user. This is explained in Step 4 of Initial Setup tutorial. As you have your SSH key already, jump straight to Copy the Public Key - Option 2: Manually Install the Key part. Once you’re done, you should be to SSH with your new account.
