I just started working on a new home server using Ubuntu server and set up a SSH key for quick log in and security.
I have set passwordautenticaction no, pubkeyaytentication yes and permitrootlogin no in the sshd_config file but it is still possible to log in to the server with username and password.
I have tried reloading the SSHD with multiple commands and even shutdown and startup the whole server.
At this point I’m even considering not disabling password and just leave it as is.
