Login Plugin returns Login Failed

I'm trying to get the Login plugin to work.
I've put it in my plugins folder.
I've make a page and added this to the YAML Frontmatter:

access:
site.login: true

When I surf to the page, I get the login form as expected. When I fill it out, I get a Login Failed message.

If I enter the correct credentials, the accounts/name.yaml file is overwritten; password is removed. state and hashed_password is added.

If I enter incorrect credentials, the accounts/name.yaml file is not changed.

did you indent your YAML correctly? your code block is not indented as it should b e. Should be:

access:
  site.login: true

the password being hashed on first login (irrespective of access) is correct and expected.

Yes, I have it indented; I couldn't figure out how to indent it for the post.

you use triple backticks like in markdown for code blocks...

regarding your issue, what does the user account look like? delete the pw/email lines if you like, I'm interested specifically in the access section

@adv:
password: 'passwordhere'
email: '[email protected]'
fullname: 'First Last'
title: 'Site Administrator'
access:
admin:
login: true
super: true

There's your problem you need:

password: 'passwordhere'
email: '[email protected]'
fullname: 'First Last'
title: 'Site Administrator'
access:
  admin:
    login: true
    super: true
  site:
    login: true

Thanks! That is just what I needed!

Now to find some uses for being logged in. 🙂

I found this code on the plugin's repo page:

{% if config.plugins.login.enabled and grav.user.username %}
  <li><i class="fa fa-lock"></i> {% include 'partials/login-status.html.twig' %}</li>
{% endif %}

why would I not shorten the if statement to just this:

{% if grav.user.username %}
  <li><i class="fa fa-lock"></i> {% include 'partials/login-status.html.twig' %}</li>
{% endif %}

Also, that code seems to work even though I don't have login-status.html.twig in my partials directory, how is it grabbing that code?
