  The ssh key option is more secure but most of the vps client never used one. Clients want it as simple as possible thats why i think both option should be added.

  The API ssh-key integration should be ready this week, then we can see if the API reset_password gets up-voted.

  I do agree that reset_password via API sending an email isn't really intuitive, will just have to see how much extra work it is to completely pass that through the API.

  I would suggest that you also add that function the the creation of a droplet using the API. It would be nice to have the returned response contain the root password and not have to wait , parse an email for it. I want to automate the creation and now I have to search my emails. However, once you implement assigning an SSH Key in the API, then I will just do that and never need the password.

  Hi Nathan,

  Thats a great suggestion, we are going to discuss that internally and see if we should update that for the API call.
