How To Set Up Passwordless SSH On A Second Computer

Setting "PubkeyAuthentication" off doesn't enable any other kind of authentication. You're likely going to need to log in from Lish now and re-enable that, since it sounds like you've turned off all authentication methods:

Once you've enabled PubkeyAuthentication again, you want to put the public key from the other system in the same authorized_keys file you put the first public key in. You can get the public key there however you'd like: it isn't secret, you can throw it in a pastebin or copy it via the first system, etc.

Thank you for your help on this and for helping me understand a little bit more about the public/private key thing.

For anyone else with a mac who has similar issue.. i figured out I could copy my keys to my second mac machine using Airdrop. Worked like a charm.
