I have tried to ssh into my centos vm using my Mac terminal I keep getting [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive) Error.
Please how can I go about it.
This is my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file

Hello @Ayman the change is it in the ssh_config file in the centos vm or from the Mac terminal? and also I think I have tried this before and on putting the correct root password I still get denied access to the ssh.

# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See
# ssh_config(5) for more information. This file provides defaults for
# users, and the values can be changed in per-user configuration files
# or on the command line.
# Configuration data is parsed as follows:
# 1. command line options
# 2. user-specific file
# 3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
# Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the
# configuration file, and defaults at the end.
# This Include directive is not part of the default ssh_config shipped with
# OpenSSH. Options set in the included configuration files generally override
# those that follow. The defaults only apply to options that have not been
# explicitly set. Options that appear multiple times keep the first value set,
# unless they are a multivalue option such as IdentityFile.
Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*
# Site-wide defaults for some commonly used options. For a comprehensive
# list of available options, their meanings and defaults, please see the
# ssh_config(5) man page.
