You try username: admin and password: admin?

[Aquenon]

Yes. Different variations of caps as well, nothing works. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice now. Still nothing

[toshibochan]

Did you change passwords some point?

[Aquenon]

No, today was the first time I downloaded it. I had Homebridge Config UI first for a while, but it never did anything except show the status. So I uninstalled it, then installed Homebridge Config UI X. I tried my old username and password for the old UI just in case it read from that, but that didn't work either.

Delete the ~/.homebridge/auth.json file and restart Homebridge.

[Aquenon]

that was it. Which is odd, since it had the defaults correct in there as well as my personal username, but it works now. Thank you!

It was likely the old format from the homebridge-config-ui plugin. I did have code in place for about two years to automatically migrate from the old format to the new format, but it got removed in the last major update as I thought most people would have migrated by now.

You'll notice your password is no longer stored in plain text when using the homebridge-config-ui-x format 😄.
