OIDC Provider Down. What to do?

[SpaceRaceMouse]

Hello,
I am preparing for a hypothetical situation and hoping for an answer. My useless OIDC provider (myself) are experiencing downtime (this is very likely). I've configured Trilium to use my Pocket-ID instance and disabled password auth. Now that OIDC is not available what can I do to re-enable password auth without being able to get in to Trilium? Any helps appreciated.

Hi @SpaceRaceMouse! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the Trilium team.

If you're locked out because OIDC is down and password authentication is disabled, you can regain access by setting noAuthentication=true in your config.ini file and restarting the Trilium server. This bypasses all authentication, letting you log in and re-enable password authentication or reset your password in the UI. Once you've restored access, revert the config.ini change to secure your instance again (source).

If you need to reset your password directly, you can edit the document.db SQLite database and run specific SQL queries to set a new password. Be aware that this method will cause loss of protected notes, but unprotected notes remain accessible (source).

For future resilience, consider keeping password authentication enabled as a fallback even when using OIDC.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Theres me being stupid. I'd tried this but refreshing https://yourtrilium.domain/login page still takes you to the authentication page. Just browse straight to https://yourtrilium.domain after changing the config.ini and you get in. Thanks Bot!
