Hi guys, after doing

pulumi login --local

I'm not able to login to the pulumi backend anymore. I tried

pulumi login

,

pulumi login <http://app.pulumi.com|app.pulumi.com>

. I'm getting this error

error: problem logging in: getting user info from <http://app.pulumi.com>: unmarshalling response object: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

Can you run ‘Pulumi whoami -v’

yes it worked! thanks🙌

If you are trying to login to the Pulumi Managed Backend, you need to use the api URL and not the console URL. So it should be

pulumi login <https://api.pulumi.com>

. Notice that it is

api

and not

app

. There is an issue open to make the error message more helpful: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/3194

well the issue was I had not logged out of

local

so I wasn't able to login to pulumi backend... Moreover, the [login page](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/cli/pulumi_login) says it should be

<http://app.pulumi.com|app.pulumi.com>

(

app

instead of

api

) so this create MORE confusion 😛

Moreover, the [login page](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/cli/pulumi_login) says it should be

<http://app.pulumi.com|app.pulumi.com>

Do you mean this line?

By default, this will log into <http://app.pulumi.com|app.pulumi.com> ...

If so, the page is correct, but a bit unclear. By specifying the api.pulumi.com URL as the backend for the CLI, you will be logged-into your account that you have on app.pulumi.com. But I can see how that is confusing. I’ll add an issue to clarify that.
