Hi,
I am working on this since two days... no progress at all:
Situation is, we are stopping our online business and we will shut the productive site soon. The Magento version is 2.3.6-p1.
Currently, I am transferring this to a XAMPP virtual machine so that we will be able to retrieve orders, invoices over the next years whenever required for tax reasons.
Transfer to XAMPP is the same way that I used for transfer to a development domain (but which was on the same managed server).
Now, I have transferred all files, database to the new server, redeployed. Frontend is working, backend login screen is working as well. Whatever I try, there is no success in entering backend with correct user/password.
What I did until now (stepwise with re-deployment at all steps and retrying):
- disabled MSP-Recaptcha
- disabled all other captcha modules
- unlocked admin user frequently (was never locked)
- created new admin user
- changed password with n98-magerun2
- for sure changed the base-url, base-links, cookie-domain
- deleted cookies forth and back
- don't know what other steps tried in between.
Frustrating is, that a clean magento 2.3.6-p1 installation is working fine.
Is there any (maybe even dirty) solution what I have not tried yet? Or (even more dirty): Fully disable Admin credential necessity? The server will run in VM extremely limited times and there is no security risk at all (VM will be encrypted).
