You can however do away with password auth and just do key based auth if you want more security.

which is also more secure than using a password

Hi I've got to activate the authentication key. Now I would like to disable the login but when trying to modify the configuration file ssh to change the parameter:

#PasswordAuthentication yes
to
PasswordAuthentication no

give me permission error:

[Error writing / etc / ssh / sshd_config: Read-only file system]

Any solution??

Go into LE settings and enable "disable password auth" in the SSH section.
