Cannot get past entering password about connectbot HOT 14 CLOSED

This is most likely related to Issue 15. Could you try to use OpenSSH to 
connect to
the server with "ssh -v [host]" to see what possible authentication types the 
server
offers?

If it looks like "debug1: Authentications that can continue:
publickey,keyboard-interactive" then it probably won't work. If that is the 
case,
this is a duplicate of Issue 15.

I can confirm I had the same problem.  And the manage keys option on the home 
screen
is disabled so I can't add any keys for non-password authentication.  

Here is the output from ssh -v [host], just before it prompts for the password:

debug1: Authentications that can continue: 
publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/identity
debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
debug1: Authentications that can continue: 
publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: password

The manage keys feature is disabled for me as well, or I would try to go that 
way.

Thanks for the quick response!

OK, I got logged in after reading the comments in #15.

The problem is that I was hitting the shift key, then typing a letter.  
Instead, I
need to hold shift and press the letter at the same time.  It is odd that the
uppercase behavior is different in this app from the rest of the OS.

I'd recommend adding notes or help somewhere about this. I'm sure many others 
will
get hit by this problem.

I have noticed that when I attempt to enter a password and hit return, the 
password
is not accepted. However, if you enter the password and click OK, it is.

Is the return key being entered as a password character?

Where is there an OK button?  I'm not seeing that anywhere.  Using the return 
key
works for me just fine once I entered the uppercase letters in my password 
correctly.

I'm having this too, I noticed that I can connect via connectbot to my 
MacBookPro
which uses OpenSSH_5.1p1. I cannot connect to either one of my Gentoo servers, 
they
run OpenSSH_4.7_p1-r6. Perhaps it is an issue relating to sshd version? I 
haven't
opened up the code yet, so this just a thought.

Also I noticed that when attempting to connect to my Gentoo servers the last 
line of
the login message ("password: ") is not present initally. However when I 
attempt to
connect to my MacBookPro the last line of the login message is present 
("password:
"). Has anyone else experienced this?

wesw02: Sounds like, as discussed in Issue #15, you have 
"PasswordAuthentication no"
in your sshd config on those servers.

sanfordarmstrong: Your exactly right, I should have looked around more. Thanks!!

I'm having the same problem, and I have tried holding down both Shift and Alt 
(though
not at the same time) to get the special characters, but alas, no good.

I checked, PasswordAuthentication is not "no"

Try using the latest SVN release. It's a featured release on the main page.

assuming this issue has been resolved because of "keyboard-interactive".  also,
passwords should be less of an issue now because of "confidence" edittext that 
were
shoing user now for entering password.

closing issue, but feel free to reopen if needed.

awesome, it works now. I love you guys!!!!!!!

My ssh config has PasswordAuthentication set to yes and I still can not connect

What is the fix for this? This issue is marked as solved, but I see no 
resolution to the problem?
