Hey, man

Try checking the environment variables in your Railway project for N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER and N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD. Those may be the credentials n8n is expecting but for some reason you’re not providing. Also, ensure cookies/sessions aren’t blocked or misconfigured across browsers.

I’d also check if it works thru a proxy, private domain and custom domain.

I'm a little confused because I'm new to this. How do I get to the variables?

N8N discontinued basic auth a while ago.

Then how do I log in. Becuase its not working on n8n. As in I can't log into n8n.

I will have to let the community help you there, Railway employees cannot provide support for 3rd party software, I was just correcting testuser.

Click on the services in your project (the widgets) and you'll see the "Variables" tab next to "Deployments".

Have you tried logging from a new browser or incognito mode?

Ya, when I tried on incognito it wouldn't let me log in on either account

I found the variables. Which ones do I use to log into n8n with?

You can try setting up manually the Basic Auth variables if your version is new and therefore doesn't have it.

Add the variable N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true and then add the user and password you want for N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER and N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD

When you self-host you are the admin so it is strange that it does not let you recover

Try the n8n community forums for help https://community.n8n.io/

If the current data is not important you can start fresh with this template https://railway.com/deploy/n8n-with-workers

Idea but first please backup your data

Upon creating a fresh n8n there are no users and it takes you to the sign up page

What if you clear out the user table in your exiting one, maybe it triggers the same flow and you are able to sign up

Wonder if there is a flag in the database that needs to be flipped to trigger the sign up flow
