try this solution found online Let the account expire to disallowing a user from logging in from any source including ssh:

# disallow peter from logging in
sudo usermod --expiredate 1 peter

This is how you can reenable that account:

# set expiration date of peter to Never
sudo usermod --expiredate "" peter
