Hi, new user here. I'm using the raspberry pi imager to image a Pi Zero W 2 with the 64 bit OS Lite. I want to use password authentication, so I choose that over the "use public key authentication only" option. However, when I boot it up and try to ssh in, it says "Permission denied (publickey)".
Every time I try to reimage, the settings default back to using public key authentication only, and the password I've set changes to that public key. This is despite the imager remembering my chosen username and the wifi network and password. I change it back manually but it doesn't seem to work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you![:)]( "Smile")
