I have set up a local Ubuntu desktop and port forwarded 22 so I can ssh access it from internet. Works fine. From other ip addresses ssh user@ip returns user@ip’s password: and I can log in From Ubuntu droplet terminal ssh user@ip returns Permission denied (publickey,password)
How do I configure droplet Ubuntu to allow desktop log in?
FYI I access droplet Ubuntu using ssh key pairs

Hi there @jeffki,
You can enable password authentication by following the steps here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/resources/lost-ssh-key/#enable-password-authentication
If you are still unable to login, I would recommend adding the
-vflag to your SSH command to get some debug information:Regards, Bobby
