Doing that, I see everything the same up until this point:

     debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password

That's what it says for the old server. For the new server it says:

     debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey

So... that would be a problem. And indeed, PasswordAuthentication was
set to no. I swear I checked that three times!

You do. It goes in the authorized_keys file. When I did ssh-copy-id it
stored the key and then I was able to log in using my private key. But
the problem is that people should be able to get onto this server
using a password.
