I downloaded cygwin and ran ssh-host-config. I'm trying to connect using

ssh -l micah myserver

it then says

micah@myserver's password:

I enter the same password I use to log into windows and it says

Permission Denied, please try again.

After the third try it says:

Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

What am I doing wrong? Any ideas? Do I need to generate an ssh key on the client and add it somewhere on the server?

check this page out, it may explain what to try to fix this issue.

seems like you do need a publickey installed for your session. I would say yes you do.

OR

comment out the line in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config , and restart sshd service. "ChallengeResponseAuthentication no"
