Generate the `traefik_dashboard_basicauth_htpasswd` value on your local machine with a command like `htpasswd -nb YOUR_USERNAME_HERE YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE`.
Choose a username and password for the dashboard, then generate the corresponding `htpasswd` entry with:
```sh
htpasswd -nb YOUR_USERNAME_HERE YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE
```
The command outputs the exact value to use for `traefik_dashboard_basicauth_htpasswd` — your username, a colon, and a hash of your chosen password:
```text
YOUR_USERNAME_HERE:$apr1$...
```
Copy the full output line into `traefik_dashboard_basicauth_htpasswd`. After deploying, log in to the dashboard using the same username and password that you chose earlier.
The role also supports the legacy `traefik_dashboard_basicauth_user` / `traefik_dashboard_basicauth_password` convenience variables, but that path depends on the `passlib` Python library on the Ansible controller, may be affected by passlib/bcrypt compatibility issues, and generates non-deterministic hashes which can lead to unnecessary changes.
