Hello there,
If you provided an SSH key when creating your DigitalOcean droplet, password authentication may have been automatically disabled.
On another note, if you have your ssh-key added to your droplet, the password authentication can be skipped due to the presence of the ssh-key pair.
If you’re using an ssh-client in your terminal you can add the -vvv to the ssh command, e.g - ssh -vvv user@DropletIp to get a more verbose output of how the connection was established.
Regards
