I have a Liquid Web server running AlmaLinux OS, and I need to set up passwordless SSH access. I followed the steps provided in this guide from Liquid Web, but it didn’t work.

Steps I followed:

1. Generated SSH key pair using ssh-keygen on my local machine.
2. Copied the public key to the server using ssh-copy-id.
3. Verified that the public key is present in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server.
4. Ensured the correct permissions for the ~/.ssh directory and authorized_keys file:
   • chmod 700 ~/.ssh
   • chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Despite these steps, I’m still prompted for a password when attempting to SSH into the server.

Additional Information:

• Local OS: [Your Local OS]
• SSH Client: [Your SSH Client, e.g., OpenSSH]
• Server OS: AlmaLinux
• Server Provider: Liquid Web

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
