Hi everyone,

want to ask , after enable the x-pack, i have generated the bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords auto , to generate the password for elastic and kibana.

I have edited the kibana.yml for the kibana account.  
It is successful to login the kibana using elastic account , however, it cannot login the kibana by kibana account

.

The recommended way to use accounts in the Elastic stack is to create a separate user when you're logged in with the built-in elastic account. The kibana account is to be used only internally and not as a normal user.
