Hello

I was signed in to the influxdb 2.0 UI on port 8086 and I went away to do something else, came back and I had been signed out due to inactivity. However I cannot re-sign in using my username and password I made when clicking on get started a few hours ago? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/influxdata/original/2X/2/2e0f844aabb4706b24e80adfb88bb05ea217c0bd.png)  
I get a red box saying could not sign in

EDIT: nevermind, it worked when I tried again now…not sure what caused the issue though
