Docker login fails with Error saving credentials: error storing credentials - err: signal: killed, out: ``

I am running Docker Desktop on MacOs Ventura. It’s a clean installation. (I uninstalled and deleted the previous Docker application, then reinstalled from a new download).

I am able to login to my docker hub account in Docker Desktop. When I run docker login in a terminal, I am prompted for user name and password. There is a pause, as if it is verifying the U/P. Then I get this error message:

Error saving credentials: error storing credentials - err: signal: killed, out: ``

config.json has "credsStore": "desktop"

Evidence that my U/P is being validated: If I mistype my password, then I get

Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": unauthorized: incorrect username or password

Trying to list the credentials directly gives a similar error:

docker-credential-desktop list
error listing credentials - err: signal: killed, out: ``

I have to believe that someone else has encountered this error and solved it. Google has been no help – I have tried many of the suggestions proposed for similar errors, but none of them have worked for me.
