I am trying to connect to a server from bitvise ssh client. I have selected Hostname and port 22. I have the password to droplet from digitalocean. I am logging in first time it is asking password which I dont know. I have selected initial method as password with store encrypted password in profile. where is the profile password saved

I created a droplet on digitalocean, created a sudo-user and made ssh provision to access the droplet from my VScode temrminal. On trying to access from the terminal, I got a dialog prompting me to "Enter password to unlock the private key".
Turned out that while generating the ssh key, the passphrase that was entered, was exactly the password being requested.
Is it possible to login from local to remote Linux PC SSH by (not root) user that presents in both systems without password input? I mean - use /etc/shadow on both points as password for login to remote SSH with same user credentials (login and password identical on both systems).
Main point - is not use key based authentication and use encrypted password (SHA-512) to login on remote SSH.
To set up a system to login into a remote system with no password required, you create a new encryption key:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
Copy the file to the remote:
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub user#remote
Now when you ssh into the remote, you will no longer be asked for the password.
This is the first time I'm doing this. I generated a key on my Mac and I have id_dsa, id_dsa.pub. I imported public key into my cPanel. After reading a few tutorials and blogs I'm still lost. How can I connect to my server from this point?
To connect, you would do this: ssh -l yourusername the.server.address from Terminal.
For instance, your username is kira, and your server is my.server.net:
ssh -l kira my.server.net
You will be prompted for your password, and the you're in (provided you enter a correct password of course)
I currently use SSH keys to access my droplet via CLI. I just setup cPanel but dont have a root password. How do I login initially with SSH keys and no root password?
Log in with your SSH keys to your root account and configure your password by typing passwd. Then you can follow these steps for using Public Key Authentication with cPanel after you've logged in the first time.
I connect to a host via SSH with a passphrase. When i am in that host I want to install a few packages for which I have to switch to 'root'. While doing so, it asks for 'Password' and obviously my passphrase doesn't work here. This host is setup only for SSH access. How to get the password details?
You can't switch to the root-user with your own password for obvious reasons. Either you are allowed to sudo su root (which may ask for YOUR password) or you do su root (which asks for root's password)
