[bug] invalid account error solved for local auth

Author: jhmonroeCreated Jul 23, 2026Updated Aug 8, 2026
  • set up local option for auth
  • leave the local attribute mapping field down below set with its autopopulated {{ .password }}
  • create a new user
  • try logging in and get the invalid account error here

Solution: that local attribute mapping field needs to be the main password you set up for filestash. This is not made clear by a tooltip or description here which would save a lot of people heartache and hours of troubleshooting and claude credits! ;-)
