From <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.1R/relnotes/#upgrade>:

After upgrading, sshd (from OpenSSH 8.8p1) will not accept new connections until it is restarted. After installing the new userland, either reboot (as specified in the source update procedure), or execute service sshd restart.

Solved - 263489 – sshd does not work after reboot to 13.1-RC4

… https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263489 - a fix might not make it in the new release, so after a reboot ensure that you restart sshd manually, otherwise you cannot login via ssh Re: , for Arch Linux the comment for the fix was openssh-8.2p1-3 in [core]. From {link removed}...
