I running the following

ssh username@ IP of the machine

The built-in SSH functionality in Windows 10 (since v1809) does not seem to support all possible characters in a password. Yeah, unfortunately this is the truth. You can reproduce the error for example with the character § . A user that can login successfully with a password like password , will not be able to login with a password like pa§§word using the built-in SSH client on Windows 10 up to this date (2020-03-23).

You may check if your users are using "too complex" passwords. Pure ASCII should work though, so there are still some special characters left for complex passwords.
