SSH 2FA error: Permission denied (publickey,password).
by Messed_Up_Linux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C57P)
Hello,
I set up Google authenticator protection for SSHing into my local server using the following tutorial:
https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/configu...2fa#1-overview
I followed all the steps but am now getting a login error. When I SSH into my server, I'm first prompted to enter the password. This is no longer accepted:
Permission denied, please try again.
Upon entering three failed attempts I get the following output:
Permission denied (publickey,password).
Any idea on what may be causing this error? Thanks a lot for your help.
