Authentication failure in Heroku CLI after password change

Question

After a password change on heroku's website, I can't access the heroku api.

When I do heroku login, I get Authentication successful, even though it shouldn't because the password has changed. It doesn't even ask for my email or password, like it should!

If I try heroku apps (or any other application related command), I get Authentication failure.

If I try heroku status, it works.

I don't have any plugins installed.

Logs:

$ heroku version
heroku-gem/3.6.0 (i686-linux) ruby/2.1.0
$ heroku logout
Local credentials cleared.
$ heroku login
Authentication successful.
$ heroku apps
Authentication failure
$ heroku plugins
You have no installed plugins.

I'll appreciate any help or ideas I can get. I already opened a ticket and waiting for the Heroku Support to get back to me.

Thanks

Answer 1

Apparently, changing the password for heroku regenerates a new API key, and I had the wrong HEROKU_API_KEY configured. (It regenerates a new one after password change).

I'm posting here the response from the great Heroku's support team, which gave me these suggestions:

• Is there a ~/.netrc file on your computer? If there is, can you please check if the file contains something Heroku related things? Please remove if there is, and try login again.
• Is there an HEROKU_API_KEY environment variable defined on your machine? If yes, could you remove it and login try again?
• Is there a ~/.heroku/credentials file (with or without an extension) on your machine? If yes, could you remove it and try login again?
• Finally, if none of those work, could try the following command: GEM_HOME='' BUNDLE_GEMFILE='' GEM_PATH='' RUBYOPT='' heroku login and see how it goes?

heroku accounts:remove personal or whatever account name you have

git config --unset heroku.account

heroku accounts:add personal then login
