Every time I try to ssh into a machine, it always says permission denied, but when doing it from another machine it works. Here is the output:
Just to be clear, I have not setup any keys and am using passwords.

What is "a machine"? What is "another machine"? When using ssh, you are connecting from one machine, the client, to another machine, the server. To debug connection problems, you need to try with different clients and/or servers. But you have to be 100% clear and specific about which machine is the client and which machine is the server in each attempt.
The machine I am using is the Mac which is the client. The server is a raspberry pi. I tried another client to the same server and it worked.
ssh has been known to get upset if the permissions for key files and directories on the client are too relaxed.
The same is true for the remote.
When permissions are too relaxed ssh assumes that someone could have injected code or settings into those files or directories to subvert your ssh session making no longer a Secure Shell.
"man ssh" and search for 'permission'
If your raspberry pi has a log where sshd records connection requests, check it to see why the raspberry pi refused the connection.
What are the characteristics of "another client" that make it different from "the Mac"?
You're trying to log in with a password, so the permissions of your files are not the issue. The server doesn't like your username or your IP address. Try logging in with the same user name and password you used on the other client. Beyond that, you'd have to consult the sshd log on the server.
Once I get home I will check the sshd log on the server. I used the same username, ip and password on the other client (which is an iPhone). Thank you for the replies and will update once I check the logs.
On the client machine that does not work, can you ssh into any other server?
I finally figured it out. I guessed that it was trying to send a publickey for some reason, but failed and when it prompted me for the password it failed, because I hadn't set keys and it was using that. So now, when I ssh from the Mac into the raspberry pi, I add a colon after the username which disables keys. Example:
ssh username:@192.168.1.1
đ Thanks for trying!
SSH not working!
