Access denied SSH from windows to linux via putty

I have a fresh install of openSUSE (tumbleweed) that I am trying to access via ssh from my Windows 7 box on my local home network. I can ping the boxes from each other successfully. I have edited the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on the openSUSE box and changed the port to 2223. I have added the line AllowUsers (mylogin) to ssh_config. PermitRootLogin is set to no. PasswordAuthentication is set to yes. I generated a public key on my windows machine and copied it to the openSUSE machine via a flash drive and added it to my .ssh/authorized_keys, but my understanding is this shouldn't be needed if I have PasswordAuthentication set to yes.
I have done these things after researching different solutions on the internet but I can't seem to find a solution to my problem: I can't login to my openSUSE box from Windows via Putty. I can connect to a session but I get 'Access Denied' everytime I attempt a login.
edit* I can login via ssh on my linux box from my linux box using
ssh openSUSEcomputername -p 2223
linux ssh windows opensuse putty

@MelBurslan the response to telnet is a blank screen that says SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2 and has a blinking cursor on the next line. If I don't type anything I get Connection to host lost after a couple minutes.

Then you don't have a firewall problem. Try shutting down sshd and starting in debug mode for one single instance withsshd -p 2223 -D -ddd -eand try logging in from your windows machine, while watching the log screen on your linux box. It may give you the indication why it is giving access denied message.

ugh I knew it was something simple... when I was logging in i used (username)@(servername). after disabling UsePAM and testing connection I found that the login attempt was automatically appending the servername to the end of the login I entered, giving the wrong login. i logged in using just the username and was successful. renabled UsePAM parameter and was successful.. solved. thanks to all that responded!!
