SSH error in VS Code: Permission denied, please try again


I want to access a remote VM with Remote-SSH extension of the VS Code editor from a Windows 10 machine. But I don't seem to succeed as VS Code is keeping prompting me to enter the password and deny the access each time. The VM runs on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS OS.

stderr> Permission denied, please try again.

I generated an ssh key for authentication and that's how I am able to access the VM from the command line with an ssh client.

Am I doing something wrong? Is the password supposed to be something else other than the account password? Is this maybe a bug in VS Code?
