I've created a new Payload instance using the multi-tenant theme.



It connects to Mongo fine, but Payload returns bad creds at the admin panel. It's been a while since I've seen this errror. Where do I see and modify my Payload login details? When I try change password it says an email is sent, but I haven't received an email.

Is it normal to have the squigly there?

    The red is because you likely need to run generate:types, so unrelated.



    Is it possible you're connecting to a pre-existing database? A differing secret could cause a bad password response.



    Regarding email, have you configured a provider? If not, it will be using ethereal email. You can enable logMockCredentials in email to show you how to log in and see the sent email. Docs here:

    Thanks Elliot, I'll try that this weekend.



    Yes I have 1 free Mongodb and many projects, connecting the 1 DB as I don't want to pay for DBs before earning revenue. I guess I can setup a localdb as another database. It's cool, I only need 1 DB at this time so I'll delete the existing DB and setup a new one.
