Explanation

The user has the wrong shell assigned to the account, which is causing the issue. The output 1 shows that the user's shell is set to /bin/false, which is not a valid shell and will prevent the user from logging in. The output 2 shows that the user's home directory has the correct permissions (drwxr-xr- x), and the output 3 shows that the user entered the correct password and was accepted by the SSH daemon, but the session was closed immediately due to the invalid shell.
