"Permission denied" error when using SSH server on Win10

[tyler36]

I'm trying to follow the SSH setup on a Win10 PC.

When I run the command, I am prompted for a password, but I always get a denied error.

ssh -p 2222 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no localhost
lost\user13@localhost's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.

If I try ssh-add, the password is accepted.

I have it working in WSL though I think it might there might be an issue with Win10?

OS: Win10 DDEV: Win10 DDEV 1.18.2, 1.19.0-alpha3 WSL: 1.19.0-alpha3

You'll want to debug this with ssh -vvv, etc. And you'll want to review the logs of the sshd.

Ahhh .... Win10 was sending a Down-Level Logon Name

• Win10

  
  $ whoami 
  lost\user13

$ ssh -p 2222 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no localhost lost\user13@localhost's password: Permission denied, please try again.

- But WSL only sends the username
```shell
$ whoami
user13

$ ssh -p 2222 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no localhost
Enter passphrase for key '/home/user13/.ssh/id_rsa':

So, I need to specify the username when I run from Win10:

$ ssh -p 2222 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user13@localhost
user13@example-web:~$ 

Also confirmed: updating my Win10 SSH ~/.ssh/config file, I can connect to the DDEV box via VSCode Remote: SSH extension

Host ExampleDDEV
    HostName localhost
    Port 2222
    StrictHostKeyChecking OFF
    User user13

Could you retitle this issue to make it more search friendly, say more about what "not working" meant in the title?
