> [!NOTE]
This command assumes a POSIX shell which removes the single quotes around your string (which have been added to prevent variable interpolation when substituting a `$` in the example). So if you are running a non-POSIX shell you might want to run `echo -n 'MySecretPassword'` to check what is passed and remove the single quotes accordingly.

After you set the PHC string, you can login by using the password you have used to generate the PHC string, e.g. `MySecretPassword` in the example above to login.

If you can enter the whole `$argon2id$…` PHC string as an admin password you are probably using an outdated version of Vaultwarden that does not support argon2id yet. Make sure you are using at least the [latest version](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/releases/latest).
