How can I log into digital Ocean droplets using username and password, I want to deploy a MERN app

I'm used to using Putty to generate SSH KEY and logging in using my privatekey and passphrase. Now am working on a project and the owner generated a droplet password and username themselves. I'm very confused now, I don't know how to log in to droplets using the password given to me.

What I have tried: I have tried running ssh root@<password> but it didn't work.

This is the error I got:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname <password>: Name or service not known

Your effort will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Solution

  • Try ssh <username>@<server> (for example ssh [email protected]). You should then be prompted for the password. Enter the password (nothing will show while you type) then press enter.
