    Arrow SSH Password disabled only for root account?

    In the SSH Password Auth Tweak when I disable password authentication, it is disabled for all SSH accounts. Is there a way to disable it for the root account only? In other words, I'd like to allow a specified SSH account to be able to authenticate with the standard password method.

    Default

    OK, I think I found the solution. One just needs to add "PermitRootLogin without-password" to the sshd_config file.
