I’m on a fresh install. I have ADMIN\_TOKEN enabled, and I’ve deleted any configs and regenerated my entire configuration multiple times.

Whever I access the /admin portal, I’m prompted for a username and password.

No matter what I do, I cannot get past this prompt. I’ve tried creating a user and using those credentials, I’ve tried user: admin and the admin\_key for my password, I’ve tried making the Admin\_key even more simple, I’ve tried disabling it entirely. There is nothing I can seem to do to access the /admin page. I always get a 403.

Please help. I’m pulling my hair out here.

Vaultwarden doesn’t have a basic auth feature. So this probably is something from the reverse proxy.

Ack! You’re right! It probably should be commented out by default on the example. - [Proxy examples · dani-garcia/vaultwarden Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Proxy-examples)

I was looking at the example “Nginx (by shauder)”

I hadn’t bothered to double check the NGINX config outside of the upstream refs.
