I've followed the documentation and successfully enabled standard authentication on my Elasticsearch and spun up an ElsaticSearch App Search instance.

My question is: What is the default password for Elastic Search app search

I tried [app-search@example.com](mailto:app-search@example.com)/changeme and that did not work.

Never mind.. I found out that its generated randomly and printed out the first time the app starts..

Hello @omairkhawaja -- welcome to the community 🎉

I cannot login even use the PW printed out the first time the app started.  
How can I debug the issue?  
Thank you for considering my question.
