[Guide] Resetting app password for Actual Budget

[scooke]

I have this installed and the little red circle with a 1 in it was bugging me (to set an app password), so I went to check that my password was set. How did I do this? I logged out assuming my browser password manager had my password! And then couldn't log back in! Yikes.

Their website gives instruction, but it wasn't working for me. Obviously, the directory was not the same. So I went digging. Using the Terminal in the App Cloudron dashboard I looked around until I found the .js code here: /app/code/build/src/scripts. Once there I ran node reset-password.js and was able to reset the password. Now I can click the DONE button and save my new password. Hope this helps someone eventually.

Hello @scooke
Thanks for that. I will add this to the documentation of the app.
