Upload failed (403): Invalid or non-existent authentication information.

I am getting

> Upload failed (403): Invalid or non-existent authentication information.
> error: Upload failed (403): Invalid or non-existent authentication information.

error while trying to upload my first package.

My .pypirc looks like this

[distutils]
index-servers =
pypi

[pypi]
repository: https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
username: 
password: 

I tried with both putting username, password in .pypirc and without it, but it always asks for password and then fails. I'm on windows.

Hi @muditjai, sorry you're having problems. Can you confirm that you can log into https://pypi.org with the username/password you're attempting to use?

Closing this due to lack of response. Feel free to reopen if this is still a problem for you.

I've been having this issue today. I tried a number of suggestions with using a ~/.pypirc in various formats. Currently my .pypirc looks like this:

[pypi]
repository: https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
username: dyspop

[pypitest]
repository: https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
username: dyspop

and i've tried to run

twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*

as well as

python setup.py register sdist upload

The output looks about the same either way with different levels of trace:

Any help appreciated... Thanks!

@dyspop I'm not seeing a dyspop user on https://test.pypi.org. You need to create a separate account there as well, it shares no data with https://pypi.org.

I've been having this issue today. Everything worked fine yesterday. Verified that could login to pypi after logging out. Also, verified that I could upload to test.pypi. Haven't changed any configurations recently.

Thanks for any help! Big fan of PyPA!

@matthagy Looks like twine is not prompting you for credentials. Do you have a .pypirc file in your home directory? Do the credentials there match what you can log into https://pypi.org with?

[matthagy]

@di, you're right! My password manager had changed the password and I forgot to update that file. Fixed. Thanks for the help and sorry for my silly mistake that I should've been able to fix on my own.

The.pypirc has been configured, but it still keeps showing this error. ![Uploading fc54058667d5c1771285f69fed72f7a18ce4ebbe6391bee1610712c0c6789377QzpcVXNlcnNcbWVjaC1taW5kXEFwcERhdGFcUm9hbWluZ1xEaW5nVGFsa1wyOTkwNjE5ODIxX3YyXEltYWdlRmlsZXNcMTcxNjQ0NjU0NDA2MF8zRkU5QzkyQS05NzU2LTQzODUtOEYyOC04RDkzNERCNUFDODEucG5n.png…]()
