Easy one — you didn't lose anything. Open your SparkBox dashboard, go to Settings → Passwords, and File Browser's login is listed right there with the rest of your apps. If you don't see File Browser on that page, you're on an older build — run sudo sparkbox update to grab the latest (we added it to that list in a recent update), then check Settings → Passwords again.

I see the General, Server Config, Network, Backup, Monitoring & Tools when I go to Settings. Which one do I click on to find my File Browser username and password?

Ah, my bad — it's tucked under the Monitoring & Tools tab, not its own page. Click Monitoring & Tools, then scroll down to the "Service Passwords" section. File Browser's username and password are listed there with the rest of your apps — no SSH or terminal needed. If File Browser isn't in that list, run sudo sparkbox update first and then check again — older builds didn't include it yet.

Ah, my mistake — that list is in Monitoring & Tools, not a top-level Settings tab. Click Monitoring & Tools and scroll down, you'll see all the auto-generated passwords there.

Anyway to get the file browser login info to pop up like other apps before opening?
tomspark wrote:
Good idea, and a fair ask. Right now File Browser doesn't show that login pop-up the way the other apps do when you click their tile — surfacing it there is something we want to add. In the meantime its login is in the same list as the rest: Settings → Monitoring & Tools, scroll down to "Service Passwords," and File Browser's username and password are right there. (If it's missing from that list, run sudo sparkbox update and check again — older builds didn't include it yet.)

I still cannot find the credentials for File Browser.

Sorry for the runaround — File Browser is the one app whose login doesn't always show up in that list on setups installed a while ago, which is exactly what you're hitting. Easiest fix is to just set its password to something you choose. Copy this whole line, but swap PickAPassword for whatever you'd like it to be: sudo docker stop sb-filebrowser && sudo docker run --rm --user 1000:1000 -v /opt/sparkbox/modules/files/config/filebrowser:/database filebrowser/filebrowser:v2.31.2 users update admin --password "PickAPassword" -d /database/filebrowser.db && sudo docker start sb-filebrowser Give it a few seconds, then open File Browser and log in with username admin and the password you just set. That gets you in for good — no more hunting through menus.

Awesome — glad that sorted it. 🎉 Happy self-hosting!

Good news — finding your File Browser password is now built in. After sudo sparkbox update it shows up in your dashboard under Settings → Service Passwords (it was accidentally left off that list before), and there's a new sudo sparkbox passwords command that lists every app's password in one place. Thanks for flagging it — reports like yours are what got it fixed!
