I am having an issue with trying to login into my site when I start a new site locally. It keeps telling me my username or password is incorrect. But that is false. I’ve looked into the database and I am entering the correct user login and user password. I even tried requesting a new password but I never get the email. All of my info is correct in the database. Not sure what could be causing this issue.

Well I changed my web server to Apache and tried creating a new test site. Seems to work. Not sure what caused the issue though.
