Error message

Failed to login

What it means

Admin console login handler: thrown when the /api/auth/sign-in response is not ok; it reads the server's error JSON and rethrows its message (falling back to 'Failed to login') so the React error boundary/state shows a login failure.

Solutions

1. Check admin credentials and server availability, then retry.
2. Verify the admin account exists.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown when the admin panel login POST returns a non-OK response and the response body carries no message field, so a generic login failure is reported.

Common situations: An admin enters wrong credentials or the server rejects the login request without details. Verify email and password and that the AFFiNE server is reachable.
