The access token is hidden from display by default as it is sensitive data. May I check if you are able to login after hitting enter?

I have tried by trying to paste it and hitting enter and I get this

May 03 '23 09:05 markcouvaras

Are you using a sbp_v0_ access token? The CLI doesn't accept that atm.

Sorry correction I am not

May 03 '23 09:05 markcouvaras

The one I am trying to use starts like below: sbp_e454aa....................

May 03 '23 09:05 markcouvaras

The cmd pallette just doesn't want me to type anything at all.

May 03 '23 09:05 markcouvaras

Can you try it with npx supabase login --debug? (Making sure to mask the actual token)

May 03 '23 10:05 soedirgo

Same error message.The problem is in the cli input part. The token is fine and has worked perfectly until now. However due to the problems we had this morning due to the hotfix, it seems as though it affected the input.

May 03 '23 10:05 markcouvaras

Do you have any solutions to this problem?

May 03 '23 15:05 markcouvaras

I'm unable to reproduce your error on my win10 vm. Could you check the windows credentials store to see if the project access token exists? Capture

You may try removing the token and login again.

May 03 '23 16:05 sweatybridge

I removed the token and I still cannot type or paste anything in the cmd where it asks for 'Enter your access token'. Could you please tell me how I can do a full removal and clean of the npm cache so that I can totally remove the supabase cli. After that I will try and reinstall it.

May 05 '23 08:05 markcouvaras

Typically npm uninstall supabase should work. If not, you can also try deleting the ./node_modules directory from your project folder.

Thank you for trying to help me with this, but unfortunately nothing seems to work.

May 05 '23 08:05 markcouvaras

Another workaround is to skip login completely by setting SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN env var.

May 05 '23 10:05 sweatybridge

Ok I could try that. I am guessing I need to do this using GitHub Actions or is there a simpler way using VSCode?

May 05 '23 11:05 markcouvaras

You can do this inside command prompt

setx SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN sbp_******

Then after restarting command prompt, you should be able to run other commands like supabase projects list.

Awesome that did the trick. Thank you so much for your patience and help in resolving this case.

I had a similar issue using the PowerShell in VsCode on Win11. Using the default PowerShell worked as expected

Interesting stuff. I will look into this as it never crossed my mind it could be that.

May 22 '23 06:05 markcouvaras

for what it's worth ... I have the same issue on Windows 11 in vs code and in Power Shell and Command Prompt directly. I resolved it by setting the environment variable as suggested above.

Same problem for me, it works with the default PowerShell too.

i had the same problem but it is on linux it seems that what is stopping me from entering the token is the password input the supabase cli is using.

i feel it's really useless because if the attacker wants to get it they have already captured the token from the token generating site and no one can remember this token so the password field here is meaningless

I typed the access token manually in the terminal, and that worked for me. However, as I was typing, there was no indication that I was actually typing anything.
