Summary

User is facing issues logging in after installing Airbyte locally. They are getting ‘Invalid username or password’ error despite providing the correct password. User is seeking advice on what might be wrong.


Question

Hi everyone, I installed and running airbyte with abctl local install --secret secret.yaml where secrets.yaml is:

kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: airbyte-auth-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  instance-admin-password: password```
I was able to open <http://localhost:8000> and provide dummy email address and dummy corp name, on the next page I try to enter `password` but get `Invalid username or password`. What I am doing wrong? Could you please advise?

Also getting this error on initial setup. Is there any workaround other than disabling auth?

Same issue here, I have migrated my airbyte instance, and I’m trying to log in with my instance email address and get the same error. Abctl version 0.11.1

Can you run abctl local credentials You should be able to retrieve the password from that command.

Yes, I tried that already. The password won’t work.
