  • I was providing the uncommented sections of /etc/ssh/sshd_config, when I found "PasswordAuthentication no" That would do it... Let me try again, and if it still doesn't work, I'll update the question with the requested outputs.

    You seem to have solved the problem by yourself. The right procedure now is as follows: 1. Write a good answer. 2. Accept it. 3. Do not announce this fact in the title.

    I am voting to close this question. The question was caused by a typo or trivial error (not using a configuration that allowed password authentication), which serves the community very little to submit an answer that makes the recommendation actually to enable password authentication.
