I have been searching for this problem for so long, but I cant seem to get a positive result, I am new to pentesting and so I am doing some tasks on tryhackme for learning the basics of Linux and so when I try to connect to an ssh server :
ssh shiba1@10.8.150.23
The authenticity of host '10.8.150.23 (10.8.150.23)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is
SHA256:5mSp6dwM2HeSewbWzIVJ2GV4bRUmbrdS0ZX8qMRPjfU.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no /[fingerprint])? yes
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/chota/.ssh/known_hosts).
shiba1@10.8.150.23's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
shiba1@10.8.150.23's password:
it gives me an authentication error(even though I am typing the correct password which is shiba1) btw this question is not a duplicate of ssh connection refused : tryhackme Learn Linux walkthrough
Any help would be appreciated
Btw, you can find the room at the following link:

it gives me an authentication error
Before that, it gives you an issue with /home/chota/.ssh/known_hosts.
I would start by checking the permissions of /home/chota/.ssh and known_hosts, to see why the ssh process is not able to modify that file.
Than I can check if the authentication error persists.
