Password Authentication

Coder has password authentication enabled by default. The account created during setup is a username/password account.

Disable password authentication

To disable password authentication, use the CODER_DISABLE_PASSWORD_AUTH flag on the Coder server.

Restore the Owner user

If you remove the admin user account (or forget the password), you can run the coder server create-admin-usercommand on your server.

Note: You must run this command on the same machine running the Coder server. If you are running Coder on Kubernetes, this means using kubectl exec to exec into the pod.

Reset a user's password

An admin must reset passwords on behalf of users. This can be done in the web UI in the Users page or CLI: coder reset-password
