Upon first installation, I am getting an invalid login error from registering a new user.  
The user folder gets created, and after I do this and navigate to panel I’m redirected to login. But all login attempts are failing.

Tried with php@7.2.

{status: “error”, exception: “Kirby\Exception\PermissionException”, message: “Invalid login”, key: “error.access.login”, file: “/Users/manus/hehehehe/hueheuehue/U\_N/piopico.la/public/kirby/src/Cms/User.php”, …}

Which Kirby version?

What gets stored in the `.htpasswd` file?

What is the full error trace? In which line exactly is the error thrown?

Hi Texnixe!

It’s in line 371 of the User.php file in public/kirby/src/Cms/User.php

Best,

Manus

A hashed password or plain text? Again, what is your Kirby version?

I managed to resolve this by switching PHP version to 7.3, I am using Kirby v3. The password was not hashed, now it is!

Then you were probably on PHP 7.4 with a not-up-to-date Kirby version. The current Kirby version is 3.3.6, make sure to update in any case. After the update, you can also use PHP 7.4.
