What is failing
I was following the steps in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_keymanagement
so I add the ed25519 key pair. After that, I couldn't sign in to the server, I deleted and reinstalled OpenSSH and even changed config ssh but I still couldn't get in the server with my password

Research direction
Start with the linked OpenSSH key-management documentation and the reported OpenSSH 8.9.1.1 setup on Windows 10; compare the ssh-add and sign-in steps with the server behavior described in the issue. Done means isolating a reproducible cause for both key and password login failures and documenting the corrective change.
