Issues with pulling docker images

Docker Hub
1

Hey I am quite new to docker and am having issues when pulling images from dockerhub. I always get the error message:
Error response from daemon: Head "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/python/manifests/latest": unauthorized: incorrect username or password

My response from https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/python/manifests/latest:

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
            "message": "authentication required",
            "detail": [
                {
                    "Type": "repository",
                    "Class": "",
                    "Name": "library/python",
                    "Action": "pull"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

I am using a windows machine with docker desktop and am logged in to the same account I am using to write this post.

Here’s what I already tried:

  • Update docker desktop
  • Logout and login
  • Restarting my device

I also tried asking the built in AI this and it also recommended forgetting and creating a new password, but when I looked at the article it linked, it was just on how to sign up using linux, so I think it might have been hallucinating. Not that I won’t do it if someone confirms it works, but I am not going to forget my password for nothing.

I found my issue. I had not properly set up my email verification, even though I thought I did. Just had to request a new verification mail.
