Stuck in composer

[eric_leisenring]

I keep getting this error when adding my access keys. It will not let me add the password (private key)

Authentication required (repo.magento.com):
Username: a**************************a
Password: Warning from repo.magento.com: You haven't provided your Magento authentication keys. For instructions, visit https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/install-gde/prereq/connect-auth.html

Hello @eric_leisenring 

1. Login/Signup your account here :

https://account.magento.com/customer/account/login

2. Navigate in account to marketplace > My Products > Access keys.

3. Create a new access key.

It will resolve your problem

Yeah I tried that three times with no luck

@eric_leisenring 

Make sure you have downloaded the community edition Magento, not enterprise, because Enterprise is paid and those keys will be needed.

You can install community edition Magento by command :

 composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition <install-directory-name>

and for Enterprise :

 composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-enterprise-edition <install-directory-name>

Hope it helps !

Sadly, I am using the community version. 

[gaurav_harsh1]

Then those keys should work, create new keys and from Magento account and paste those again.

This is the only keys which community requires !

I have tried this and I get the exact same problem. As soon as I paste my username in I get the error message

I am getting the same problem here...Community version, new keys, tried everything!

It is the composer. Composer 2.0 doesnt work properly with magento 2 repos.

If someone still has trouble with getting magento 2 through composer because of authentication keys issue as given below, then make sure to update your auth.json with your Magento Authentication Keys (generated from marketplace.magento.com) inside your COMPOSER_HOME directory and then exit from your terminal / bash / shell and reopen it and try composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition magento2/ command again to get Magento.

Spoiler

Warning from repo.magento.com: You haven't provided your Magento authentication keys. For instructions, visit https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/install-gde/prereq/connect-auth.html

Detailed step by step instructions are given below:

1. Generate Authentication Keys inside your Magento Makeplace Account

https://marketplace.magento.com/customer/accessKeys/

2. Find your local machine composer home directory by typing the command below

$ composer config --list --global | grep 'home'

it shows your composer path. In Windows 10 its like 

C:/Users/youruser/AppData/Roaming/Composer

3. Open the auth.json inside the Composer Home directory (in a text-editor) 

4. Update the file with your keys like given below

{
    "bitbucket-oauth": {},
    "github-oauth": {},
    "gitlab-oauth": {},
    "gitlab-token": {},
    "http-basic": {
		"repo.magento.com": {
            "username": "<your_public_key>",
            "password": "<your_private_key>"
        }
	},
    "bearer": {}
}

5. Exit the bash / shell / terminal and reopen it again and try the composer command to get the Magento package now. It will work.

composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition <your_magento2_install_dir>/

BTW my Composer version is 2.x. and am on Windows 10

$ composer --version
Composer version 2.0.8 2020-12-03 17:20:38

Hope this Helps !
