Question Cannot connect to e-reader via SSH

KOReader version: v2023.10
Device: PocketBook TouchHD (PB631)

I followed the Connect to the e-reader via SSH guide to establish an SSH connection between my laptop and my e-reader. First, I enabled login without password in KOReader, but I was still prompted to enter a password. I tried to input an empty string by pressing enter, but it was rejected.

Then, I followed the steps for key authentication, and put both an RSA and ed25519 key in the
Code:
/applications/koreader/settings/SSH/authorized_keys
file of KOReader. I'm sure these are correct.

I attached the verbose output of the command I ran to try to get in with my RSA key:
Code:
ssh -v -p 2222 -i ~/.ssh/id_touchhd 192.168.0.236
. You can see see
Code:
debug1: send_pubkey_test: no mutual signature algorithm
on the bottom that makes me think that RSA is not supported by the SSH server that KOReader is using? Sounds unlikely. Anyway, I tried with ed25519 too:
Code:
ssh -v -p 2222 -i id_ed25519_touchhd 192.168.0.236
I don't get the same error here, though I'm still prompted to enter a password.

I did some research, but it seems like I'm the only one with this problem.

Am I missing something? Could this be a device problem? Thanks for the help.
