Issue starting up local server with auth flag

Hi - I've enabled Developer Mode on a template and have successfully installed squarespace-server. When running

squarespace-server

without the auth flag, the command is succesfull but warns that I need to run with auth, as my site is password protected right now.

When I run with auth, the command fails with the following output:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. On Windows 10. Thanks!

I had a similar experience recently and was able to resolve it. After starting the development server using the --auth flag, I was then prompted to follow a link where a single-use password/authentication code would then be generated for input through the terminal. To my frustration, entering the generated code kept failing, and I was getting the same output that you have shown here.

During my trial and error process of trying to connect, I happened to notice that the link being generated for the single-use password/authentication code retrieval had "&access_type=offline" at the end. By changing this to "&access_type=online", I was able to generate a code that the terminal accepted, and the local development server started right up.

Good luck to you. If this doesn't answer your question, I hope you find the answer you're looking for.

how to change access_type @VirNinja?
