SSH - PasswordLess

Hi,
I have an issue and I'm not sure if it's a restriction or not. I can create passwordless for any user but not the admin. Is it a restriction?

You can't create another admin account with no password, because there is already one created through the myVesta installation. And that account has to have a password to be able to login into that account.
As for other users, they also must have some password because that field is mandatory

No, I need to login/exist many times when working with cmd, wp cli. So I've added the id_rsa.pub to my /.ssh/authorized_keys, but it's impossible for the default admin created through the myVesta installation.
The other accounts working fine and even the root account can log-in without adding the password, but the admin user isn't working and I'm not sure why.

I checked and seems it's correctly for me.
*Need to add space to avoid the error, but no space in the passwd file.

The result below:
Code: Select all

Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
# Example of overriding settings on a per-user basis
#Match User anoncvs
# X11Forwarding no

I have no idea why you can't SSH to admin account...
Maybe /var/log/auth.log can clarify what is going on.

I can ssh to the admin account but I don't want to add password every time when ssh (no password with SSH KEY).
My auth.log is here:

Sorry, I can't read the whole log file.
Can you cut and paste here only the moment when it denied your SSH connection?
