Terminal: Can no longer login in to NordVPN with sudo

[ConfusedEagle]

Hello,

not sure if this is the right category, but i give it a shot.

My problem:
I somehow failed three times to enter my password correctly into the terminal.
Since then i can no longer log in with sudo.
The only information the terminal gives me after a attempt is: “Your are not looged in.”

On booting my Manjaro i can still use my password to login. I can use the password also in “Add/Remove Software” to update my machine.

But my Terminal… it seems its Game Over for that.

I already tried to change my Password. But that did nothing.

What can i do

sudo is working, assuming you’re meant to use sudo then the problem is with your VPN or network. I don’t know anything about VPNs so I’ll leave it for those that do.

no sudo needed

if (for example):
nordvpn c France

results in:
You are not logged in.

then … log in:
nordvpn login

this results in a message with a link that you visit, like this:

Continue in the browser: https://api.nordvpn.com/v1/users/oauth/login-redirect?attempt=a-very-long-number

do that and then you are logged in and can connect and disconnect as often and to whatever servers/countries you like.

… that is how I use it - not on Manjaro but on Mint and Debian

The daemon process is always running, even across reboots.
I only need to login after I quit (not just disconnect) the process.
Very very rarely.

Have you seen the Arch Wiki?

NordVPN - ArchWiki

If you use sudo with nordvpn you are telling the application to look in /root for the credentials.

Therefore you should not use sudo - just

nordvpn connect <country>
