I'm auto-logged-in as my anonymous user and cannot log in as administrator anymore

I added the following to my kibana.yml for the sake of embedding visualizations, but now when I log in to the Kibana web portal, I'm auto-logged-in as dashboard_viewer and cannot log out or choose to log in as the elastic admin account. How can I fix this? Thanks!

xpack.security.authc.providers:
  anonymous.anonymous1:
      order: 0
      credentials:
        username: "dashboard_viewer"
        password: "[password]"

xpack.security.sameSiteCookies: "None"

Anonymous Kibana Users

@caitlyn.carlisle Ok we have it If I understand correctly, What you want to accomplish is enable the ability for a user to anonymous login to view Kibana dashboards etc. That is supported in Elastic Cloud, what is not supported is underlying anonymous access to elasticsearch. That is where the confusion lay. So this is how you do it. Reference Here.. and there is even a little video on it here . Note the docs link to 7.11 so make sure you use the latest. First create the use…

You need to add the basic auth in as well

xpack.security.authc.providers:
  basic.basic1:       <!-- This is the normal login
    order: 0  
  anonymous.anonymous1:  <!-- This is the anonymous login
    order: 1
    credentials:
      username: "test"
      password: "askldjfhaslkdjf1654

That did it. I figured it was something simple like that. Thanks!
