Upgraded to 1.8.3 and logins stopped working

What is the problem?

After upgrading to 1.8.3 from web ui logins stopped working. Octoprint.log says:

What did you already try to solve it?

Solved it my downgrading it back to 1.8.2 with ssh console

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No

I assume this is a custom install, rather than OctoPi?

We need more information about your setup to diagnose the problem.

Yes, it was installed by following manually on raspbian stretch. So following "OctoPrint.org - Download & Setup OctoPrint":

  1. Installing Python 3, including pip.
  2. Creating a virtual environment somewhere: python -m venv OctoPrint
  3. Installing OctoPrint into that virtual environment: OctoPrint/bin/pip install OctoPrint

argon2_cffi is listed as a dependency in OctoPrint 1.8.3, so I don't know right now how you managed to update to 1.8.3 without pulling that in.

yes that is mystery to me too, if I go to ssh shell into the venv environment and run pip install from there it says that "Requirement already satisfied: argon2_cffi in ./lib/python3.7/site-packages (21.3.0)", but it looks like octoprint is unable to find it as it says "passlib.exc.MissingBackendError: argon2: no backends available"

And second thing it seem that I also had trouble with remote connections. I have reverse haproxy setup (with added client certificate checking) with couple different dns names for couple of my different octoprint printers, and they also stopped working with wrong password redirect (when local ip accepted the same password). Most likely something to do the CORS or CSRF protection, so for the time beeing I've downgraded all my printers back to 1.8.2 until I figure out how to update haproxy settings to work also. One of my venv octoprint setups were also over Armbian 22.05.3 Jammy distro, and that one also runned into argon2: no backends available error after pressing update from the webui.

I can confirm this issue. After upgrade via the UI i ran into th same error.
I also manually installed the plugin "pip install argon2_cffi"

Also a manual install though, right?

Yes. Manual install.

What OS is this and what version? Which Python version, which pip version? What underlying hardware? I'm trying to get a picture here to figure out why this works fine on OctoPi and in my and the team's local testing, but not in now two manual installs. I'm guessing it might be some native library that's missing, or maybe something that cffi requires to do its magic, but currently that's really just blind guessing.

Would a force reinstall fix it up maybe?

source venv/bin/activate
pip install --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir OctoPrint==1.8.3

No, don't work either. Same Issue.

Can somebody give me a hint how to rollback to 1.8.2. on my ubuntu installation ? I did

source /home/octoprint/python_venvs/octoprint2/bin/activate
pip install https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/archive/1.8.2.zip

but afterwards the service do not start

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'OctoPrint==1.8.2' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Rollback instructions are here: How do I roll back from 1.8.3+ to a version prior without losing the ability to login?

With what guide did you install OctoPrint on Ubuntu?

I used this one and there have been no update issues.

I followed that one:

but one of my 3 octoprint instances are broken now...

If you're using virtual environments (venv), are you sure you installed argon2_cffi into the same virtual environment? What happens if you run Octoprint server via the CLI (octoprint serve -v) instead of the daemon?
