Problem loading credential

Credentials could not be decrypted. The likely reason is that a different “encryptionKey” was used to encrypt the data.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hey @Ibrahim_Jogilkar,

Welcome to the community :raised_hands:

It sounds like you have not installed n8n correctly, Can you make sure you have the docker volume set so that the data in /home/node/.n8n is not replaced. If you are not able to do that you will need to set the N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY environment variable.

For the credentials you already have if you don’t know the encryption key you will need to make them again.
