@sogen What is the registration preference set to for your site? Open or Invite Only? You can access it at https://app.netlify.com/sites/<sitename>/settings/identity.

So the error message you are receiving is because you are trying to login with Github using an email which has not been invited.

No, the error was trying to login using *only* the Netlify ID login. After that, I enabled the Github login, the GitHub login worked fine. So, to summarize: The Netlify ID didn't work, that's when I got all the errors about the password and recovery emails.

Go to /admin to login
Try to log in using Github
Get error message on the URL

I'm confused, logging in using Github is part of your reproduction steps and the issue title.

[username1290]

Oh, sorry, must have been late, I'm wrong.
The issue is only using Netlify ID without any other external provider enabled.
(I enabled the Git Gateway and mistakenly thought that gave working access to Github)
My bad.
Renaming title and editing first post

Note: I signed up to Netlify using Github, and noticed my Netlify account didn't have a password assigned, in case that helps.

@sogen To clarify, your Netlify account is completely separate from any accounts you setup for a particular site. You will not be able to login using your Netlify account, but must create an account for each site that has identity turned on.

[SeriousSharePoint]

This is not intuitive. The default behavior should be the site inheriting the site creator's authentication method, including provider. Even if the login and approval has to be done again, a button should exist to facilitate the setup.

That is a big assumption to make. If you created a Netlify account using Github, that in no way indicates you want your site to accept Github logins.

Have you tried registration from Identity tab in Netlify admin page?

I have the same problem too. I can't even login to my Netlify account

[u007]

do we need to add in netlify identity page?
we cant use netlifycms default admin login page?
login token does not seems to work after clicking on accept in email, it just display page not found

[WorkSpot]

I have this issue as well.

Repro Steps:

Enabled GitGateway
Invited User
User Clicked Link to Set their Password
User received message "Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0" - this happens in CHROME
When User tries to login with Safari - the result is "The string did not match the expected pattern."

while trying to Login with Netlify Identity getting this Failed to load settings from https://github.com/robertcoopercode/gatsby-netlify-cms/.netlify/identity
how can i solve this

[ytric]

I had the same issue, but then I realized it occurs after I made my repo in Github (with netlify CMS hosted in Netlify) private. Changing the github repo back to public should solve the problem.
