After running shopify theme serve command in the terminal and opening http://127.0.0.1:9292 link in the browser, I’m asked to enter the store password, after entering it tells me that the password is incorrect, and I’m sure it is correct. After couple of tries, I clicked on the – “Are you the store owner? Log in here” link below the password field, which takes me to shopify choose account page, and after logging in there it gives me the following error page:
The first time I tried to run the store on localhost was 4 days ago and had this error and thought there’s a problem on shopify end. Now I tried this today and the problem is still there.
Coming back months later to this problem I finally fixed it. You should enter not your store password itself, but Password protection, which you can find in Online store → preferences → Password protection.
I have the same issue with the password page displaying when I try to view my local build, but I the password modal doesn’t show when I click on the customer ‘Enter Password’. If I click on the ‘Are you the store owner? Login Here’ link it takes me to a Shopify login page, but then after logging in it takes me to the We’ll be back soon page. If I try to use the password I’ve set up in my store preferences on the Shopify login it doesn’t work. Only my Shopify Partners psw works and takes me to the We’ll be back soon page.
I’m wondering if this is theme specific, but has anyone else had trouble accessing the password field to access their store when they’re running it locally?
When I disable the password on my store and pull the theme again, the password page does not show when I open it locally on my machine, but then the load time is incredibly slow and some images don’t come in at all (I’m on a 200 mb/s connection).
