Why am I being asked to provide my password when I haven't set one up?

Updated over a month ago

Issue

Some actions in Sentry require password confirmation as a security measure when the user is logged in for a long period without re-authenticating. These can be: deleting a project or team, cancelling the subscription, or removing 2FA (two-factor authentication).

Users are not required to have a password in some cases (i.e.: use GitHub to authenticate with Sentry) and therefore will not be able to fill the password prompt.

This is currently a known issue:. You can find more details and status on this issue: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/issues/61265

Applies To

  • Users with 2FA enabled

  • Users that log in with OAuth (Google, GitHub or Azure)

  • Users who have set up a user account without providing password

Resolution

The user needs to log in using an incognito window and immediately try to perform the action again. The recent login will prevent the password prompt.

Additionally, you can create a new password to your account by going through the account recovery process here: https://sentry.io/account/recover/
