Leaving this here for posterity, since I ran into the same issue, and this was the topmost search result.

For the record, I encountered this error running Docker on Windows.

While the Docker client was running the in the system tray, and was showing me as logged in, I got the unauthorized: incorrect username or password error.

When I right-clicked on the system tray icon, it showed me as logged in, with a cont

Using my Docker Hub “username” instead of email worked for me too. Thanks.

Over a year later, and your reply is still helping fix busted logins on MacOS.

Thank you!

In my case docker was logged using my email address which apparently doesn’t work.

docker logout
docker login --username <username not email>

Did it for me.

Thanks for posting this. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this was failing. What I do not understand is how/why Docker doesn’t log in with an email address vs. a simple username (the former being more unique) – or allowing both. Seems like a no-brainer to me. But I’m glad I figured this out.

I ran into the same problem, in my case I used the correct usename, still same problem. It suspect this was due to a special characted in my password. I could still use my password on the website, but this password did not work when attempting to log in through tray icon or using >docker login.

Just thought Id share in case someone else runs into this problem.

[ricardolovatel]

Thanks, it helped me a find the solution. In my situation, my password had ​a special character with bad behavior.
