Passwordless ssh suddenly stopped working

[cloud pawn]

Title. I regenerated my id_rsa.pub and added it to authorized keys on remote using ssh-copy-id, but it still asks for password. Yesterday it worked fine

[hard glacier]

well that's strange

just try resetting the ssh passphrase to blank string.

[cloud pawn]

ive never set passphrase

ill try to fully reset ssh on remote

lmfao, i reinstalled openssh over ssh

it doesnt work-_-

check the authorized_keys file under ~/.ssh of the desired user, and check to see if you’re using the right identity file on the client. if it works, disable password login in SSHD config

[cloud pawn]

keys are absolutely right

[rich furnace]

did you reload / restart the SSHD service?

also send screenshots of what’s going on

[cloud pawn]

i can send video how i reconfigure remote ssh

[rich furnace]

gotcha

[cloud pawn]

can disabled sshd service on client be an issue?

[rich furnace]

on client it shouldn’t be

[cloud pawn]

okay, wait a bit

[rich furnace]

👍

[cloud pawn]

here you go

[rich furnace]

okay there’s a few things going on

assuming you have the private key in your clients .ssh folder, try doing this

ssh <ip> -i <private key location>

this should force passwordless authentication

if it passes, you can then add an alias to your ssh config with that identity file

[cloud pawn]

lmfao even with private key it asks password

[rich furnace]

hmmmmm

check your sshd config, that’s the only other thing i’m thinking here

unless your private key doesn’t match

or copy over the public key manually

[cloud pawn]

okay, what should i check there? maybe, set hostkey?

[rich furnace]

slight warning i’ll be heading to bed soon, but will respond tomorrow

[cloud pawn]

okay

[rich furnace]

i would check password authentication settings

i’ll play around with this tomorrow, my apologies

[cloud pawn]

its okay, thank you

[rich furnace]
