try ssh-copy-id username@host, it should ask for your password, login, set up for you, then you should be able to ssh in passwordlessly.

If that doesn't work we need more details, what OSes are involved and such, ls -l ~/.ssh/, ls -ld ~/.ssh/, maybe one server has an old version of ssh requiring rsa keys.. ssh -vv username@host may give more useful error messages...

make sure the permission of the authorized_keys file is set to 700.

kindly double check if you have copied the right public key, from server B, to the authorized_key file in server A. obviously, the key was rejected thus you were prompted for the password. might be wise to just scp the public key to server A than copy and paste it, incase you have done it.
