Why do still have to type password every time when ssh to a server after add key to authorize_key?

I have followed SSH Git without having to type in my password every time

but now I still have to type password every time.

[root@web2 .ssh]# pwd
/home/git/.ssh

[root@web2 .ssh]# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Stopping sshd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting sshd:                                             [  OK  ]
------------

Either you didn't add the key correctly, the key was in the wrong format, you have a permission problem, or the SSH configuration on the host is only allowing password authentication.

Of the four possibilities, the second is the most likely. If you cut and paste an SSH.com-format key into authorized_keys for example, it won't work. You have to convert it to an OpenSSH format first.

What does your public key look like in authorized_keys? (There's no harm in posting it - it's a public key after all)

You should make sure the permission for ~/.ssh/authorized_keys is 600.
