Problem/Question
After upgrading to Netdata version 2.1.1, I am now presented with a sign-in page when accessing the dashboard. Previously, the dashboard would load directly without requiring any sign-in. Although there is an option to “Skip and use the dashboard anonymously,” I would prefer to disable the sign-in page entirely and access the dashboard directly. Is there a way to configure this?
Relevant docs you followed/actions you took to solve the issue
I reviewed the Netdata documentation and community forums but did not find a clear solution to bypass the sign-in page for direct dashboard access in the latest version.
