With the Raspberry Pi 3B, Raspberry Pi Imager, Ubuntu Server 64bit 23.04, for writing the SD card image, I tried the following Imager options:
At Image Customization Options Tried:
- No configuration at all
- Set Hostname:
host - Set username and password:
user,pssw, Disable SSH - Set username and password:
user,pssw, Enable SSH Use Password Authentication
Hardware configuration:
- Using a Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, and LAN Cable connected
I gave a try to the "Raspberry PI Imager" from raspberrypi.com. It couldn't be easier than simply flashing an image from ubuntu.com. But I gave it a try.
After about 10 different trials, and 4 hours, the fancy "Raspberry Pi Imager", and waiting all those minutes you want to wait after the processes ended, the installation got stuck in the login prompt, and no possible configured user/pssw are accepted, with or without an SSH access, such as:
Username and Password Options Tried:

Error at SSH Prompt:

Error at Login Prompt:

For some absurd reason, the Raspberry Pi Imager is messing with the Ubuntu Image and making it non-functional.
Solution so far:
Hours lost giving a cent to a piece of crap.
Don't mess with the cute Imager. Go straight to the source ubuntu.com and burn it with BalenaEtcher (Not with Rufus!). Then SSH with ubuntu/ubuntu
Problem solved.
