cli: Error saving credentials: error storing credentials in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

sudo apt install gnupg2 pass

Work for me !

I think this problem occurs because it couldn’t find or create the config.json in home/.docker/. What I did was I renamed docker-credential-secretservice to something else and tried login in again. Then it created the config.json by itself and I was able to login to docker hub. This is where I found the temporary solution to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50151833/cannot-login-to-docker-account

sudo apt install gnupg2 pass

not worked for me

Just reinit config.json work!

docker logout
mv ~/.docker/config.json ~/.docker/config_old.json
docker login

very helpful!!

Install the following Packages in ubuntu 18.04 fixed my issue

sudo apt install gnupg2 pass

@Titom222 Worked for me! Thanks. Jeez! How did you find this?!

It helped me too. Thx!

@solesensei solution worked for me. using Ubuntu 20.04 with WSL. also tested running the command from VS Code’s terminal and it also works

I have the same issue. Mine seems weirder though. I have windows with WSL2, when I run things directly from WSL2 it works, but when I run it from the terminal in VS Code that I have started from WSL2 I do get the error.

@Titom222 you saved my day! )

It worked for me as well. Thank you

sudo apt install gnupg2 pass

Work for me !

Apt resolves for me too ! Thks

This goes against the documented behaviour:

By default, Docker looks for the native binary on each of the platforms, i.e. “osxkeychain” on macOS, “wincred” on windows, and “pass” on Linux. A special case is that on Linux, Docker will fall back to the “secretservice” binary if it cannot find the “pass” binary. If none of these binaries are present, it stores the credentials (i.e. password) in base64 encoding in the config files described above.

I am on Linux but I have neither pass or secretservice installed.
