Issue in Following Password Setup

[vibhatha]

I followed this

Instead of getting something similar to the following as shown in the tutorial

In [1]: from notebook.auth import passwd
In [2]: passwd()
Enter password:
Verify password:
Out[2]: 'sha1:67c9e60bb8b6:9ffede0825894254b2e042ea597d771089e11aed'

I am getting something like the following

'argon2:<something-here>'

I cannot log in to my notebook, and the terminal trace doesn't give the token.

And also, jupyter notebook list is not showing the token.

How to resolve this issue?

I am trying to remotely connect to a Jupyter server.

Hi,

I am getting something like the following
'argon2:<something-here>'

Where and when are you seeing this and what is the nature of <something-here>?

Did you write the sha back into the jupyter_notebook_config.py file and ensure that jupyter_notebook_config.json doesn't already contain a password per the docs?

I cannot log in to my notebook, and the terminal trace doesn't give the token.

When a password is configured, the log messages will not contain a token.

Have you tried configuring the password using jupyter notebook password - which will automatically adjust the JSON configuration file (and takes precedence)?

I also have the issue.

EDIT: This was from the wrong environment.
Also I only saw this happen in windows, for some reason.

I started seeing the problem after running following update from anaconda ``` jupyter_server 1.2.1-py38h578d9bd_0 --> 1.2.2-py38h578d9bd_0 jupyterlab 3.0.3-pyhd8ed1ab_0 --> 3.0.5-pyhd8ed1ab_0 jupyterlab_server 2.1.1-pyhd8ed1ab_0 --> 2.1.2-pyhd8ed1ab_0 ```

I also found a workaround, which is to use SHA1 instead of argon2.
I am not entirely sure, but there might be problem with how jupyter utilize argon2.

In [1]: from notebook.auth import passwd
In [2]: passwd(algorithm='sha1')

Same here.

[RaoTianlong]

Signature: passwd(passphrase=None, algorithm='argon2')
Docstring:
Generate hashed password and salt for use in notebook configuration.

In the notebook configuration, set c.NotebookApp.password to
the generated string.

Parameters

passphrase : str
Password to hash. If unspecified, the user is asked to input
and verify a password.
algorithm : str
Hashing algorithm to use (e.g, 'sha1' or any argument supported
by :func:hashlib.new, or 'argon2').

Returns

hashed_passphrase : str
Hashed password, in the format 'hash_algorithm:salt:passphrase_hash'.

Examples

passwd('mypassword')
'sha1:7cf3:b7d6da294ea9592a9480c8f52e63cd42cfb9dd12'
File: /opt/conda/lib/python3.9/site-packages/notebook/auth/security.py
Type: function

The default algorithm must had changed...

this jupyter argon2 password thing is a serious headache, if something does not work why release it?!?
it jupyter can not work with argon2 without wasting several hours figuring out what is wrong, then why not just keep the thing using sha1 still?!?

the argon2 always say invalid hash, what is fix to this?!?

hey so I had this similar issue, and since I am new to programming and all this I've been trying to figure it out for about 20 hours now. So I don't what happened but there was one instance where using the 'jupyter server password' to update did work. However since I was attempting a weak password for testing purpose when I re did the the 'jupyter server password' to now put a strong password. It is not working. I've changed the config.py probably around 100 times by now (not kidding).

did this get solved?

[jm9151821]

so for anyone wanting to find a workaround.

step 1. comment out the command #c.NotebookApp.password = 'argon2......'
step.2 go to your URL i.e. jupyterpizza.com, in my case https://jupyterpizza.com/. then use the token login, for those who are new like myself, i.e copy paste only the token numbers i.e 8dbf7248c98b03db5330ce7f05ea00a7dd0b5481af631894 in the below box where it says 'Token' and 'new password' (set up your new password here.) that will allow you to set up a password.
step3 celebrate! go do something fun you are learning and it can be tough. -this comment written Nov 29 2023 8:24am

Since this wasted about 5 hours of my life, I figured I would add my fix here as well - though maybe my case was stupidity.

I was generating and saving the hashed password as a variable in bash. When starting my jupyter notebook server and including the hashed password as input, my syntax was:

jupyter notebook (other args...) --IdentityProvider.hashed_password='${HASHED_PASSWORD}'

I eventually discovered it was the quotes that were causing the issue, where the correct syntax was:

jupyter notebook (other args...) --IdentityProvider.hashed_password=${HASHED_PASSWORD}

Hopefully this saves at least one of you a headache.
