FeathersJs authenticate returning NotAuthenticated: Invalid login

I am following the official guide of feathers js authenticate https://docs.feathersjs.com/guides/chat/authentication.html but it seems like even after following the guide step by step I am unable to generate tokens. Here is the body of my request to http://localhost:3030/authentication

{
    "strategy": "local",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "12345678"
}

and here is the response I got

{
    "name": "NotAuthenticated",
    "message": "Invalid login",
    "code": 401,
    "className": "not-authenticated",
    "data": {
        "message": "Invalid login"
    },
    "errors": {}
}

I am using Sequilize with MySQL and I have tested my services using postman and they all are working fine (get/post data from the database)

Solution

  • I figured it out. It was not working because the verify method in authentication-local was verifying the password assuming that the password was hashed using their hashing utility method.

    Starting the server with debug mode on have helped to figure out this issue
