I highly recommend adding a new user with your preferred username and disabling login for user `pi`.

@gronostaj if I may ask, why? If the password is secure enough, should be fine right

@EngineerCoding but you should also run each thing you want as its own user with its own perms and such

@EngineerCoding Well, you wouldn't have this issue in the first place if your username was consistent across devices.

Id recommend adding your connection profiles to

.ssh/ssh-config

And then you can just do
"ssh pi"

Or whatever name you assign it.
It then works for scp and rsync too
