Sorry folks, but this has me a bit stumped. Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key. If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter your credentials. You should set your own ke…

The encryption of your flow credentials file is unrelated to whether you have enabled logging into the editor or not. The last paragraph tells you exactly what to do: [image] Trying_to_learn: You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in your settings file. Node-RED will t…

Yeah, ok. But opening the settings.js file and looking for that part, this is what I find: // By default, credentials are encrypted in storage using a generated key. To // specify your own secret, set the following property. // If you want to disable encryption of credentials, set this pr…

[image] Trying_to_learn: So I am reading #2 as saying I need to keep a copy of the settings.js file with the secretCredential password. Yes. Presumably you have other settings in there you'd need to restore in the event of having to rebuild your system. As for the login issue (which is entir…

On THIS issue: THANKS. Ok. Up to speed. I keep the settings.js file backed up - preferably on another machine/device. I only mentioned the other problem .... well, because it was referenced. (I can't post any more on that thread for reasons outside my control. Last time I tried I was told I…
