homebridge terminal user password?

[DifferentComputers]

Describe Your Problem:

when running the install command in the homebridge terminal window, a password is required, even though no password is set for the homebridge user.

:/var/lib/homebridge$ homebridge-playstation-login No credentials for PSSystem and unable to request (need root permissions). Attempting to request root permissions now (we will relinquish them as soon as possible)... [sudo] password for homebridge: Logs:

OK, I managed to set a homebridge user password. but now:

homebridge@Loki:/var/lib/homebridge$ homebridge-playstation-login No credentials for psSystem and unable to request (need root permissions). Attempting to request root permissions now (we will relinquish them as soon as possible)... [sudo] password for homebridge:
Sorry, user homebridge is not allowed to execute '/usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/bin/homebridge-playstation-login --credentials /home/homebridge/.config/playactor/credentials.json --proxied-user-id 999' as root on Loki.

Can anyone assist?

I’m having the same issue as this.

Does playactor need to be installed separately or is it included when this plugin is installed?

You will need to add those directories to homebridge user in /etc/sudoers file

I typed su [my main user] and continued with homebridge-playstation-login. It worked 🤷‍♂️
