I installed Node-RED using Docker Compose, and I can access it via the IP address on port 1880. However, the issue is that I want authentication on the server. I created a hashed password and added it to `settings.js`, but it's not working as expected

```auto
 It looks like this;

adminAuth: {

type: "credentials",

users: [{

username: "admin",

password: "$2y$08$UiLPwUVDipQ7ktp0rwuncOwIfGAzeeQcDfuHWFOxbuoYKlB86D2S6",

permissions: "*"

}]

}, 

```

but when i enter this credintials it says login failed. I dont know where is the problem.

Can someone help me? I dont know where the problem is?

Did you use the hashed credential to sign in or the string used to create the hashed credential. You should be using the string.
