You can still have password athentication and key authentication at the 
same time.  In the future, an easier way to copy keys is to use 
ssh-copy-id, that will copy over your key file to the remote server and 
make sure that proper permissions are set.  Permissions on your 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file should be 600. If you look at the error log 
on the *server* you will see what error is, not the client.
