title: Troubleshooting Login problems
---
In case you can't login anymore, perhaps due to an incorrectly configured stage or a failed flow import, you can create a recovery key.
:::caution
This recovery key will give whoever has the link direct access to your instances. Keep this key safe.
:::
To create the key, run the following command:
```
docker-compose run --rm server create_recovery_key 10 akadmin
```
or, for Kubernetes, run
```

kubectl exec -it deployment/authentik-web -c authentik -- ak create_recovery_key 10 akadmin
2021-02-27 15:00:05 +00:00
```
This will output a link, that can be used to instantly gain access to authentik as the user specified above. The link is valid for amount of years specified above, in this case, 10 years.
