It’s because you aren’t creating users from the good place, you need to go to Parameters/AdminPanel/Users and not just add an entry to the Users collections.
Thank you for the the quick reply - I am looking to create users for the front end of the application and not Strapi Admin users? This is using the “registration” and “login” functions from the docs.
I’m getting invalid credentials , I have created 5 entries , and for some reason I stopped the server and restarted using npm run develop, now i’m not able to login with my mail and password
