Why does Wordpress (1 click install with DO template on ubuntu) keep asking for authentication?

Posted on March 14, 2014

I’m new to this but when i log onto my wp-admin dash board I get a pop up asking for me to login to my droplet via SSH for login details. Is there anyway to stop that from popping up?
