Hi, I am a complete beginner and this was my first attempt to use use the Huggingface products. I tried experimenting with this notebook ([Audio-classification](https://colab.research.google.com/github/huggingface/notebooks/blob/main/examples/audio_classification.ipynb#scrollTo=EC8RjlPrk2X0)). The instructions up top said in clear words ‘_First you have to store your authentication token from the Hugging Face website if you haven’t already!) then execute the following cell and input your username and password:_’ I signed up and created a token and the prompt asked me to enter **Username** & **Password** ![Screenshot 2024-03-17 at 8.02.13 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/2/1/215187624b60a036f26bef29797eeb0f9fea73c4.png) I entered the details and this was the message I got 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: [https://huggingface.co/api/login](https://huggingface.co/api/login) Error ``` Cannot POST /api/login ``` **I tried entering my token instead of my password** **I tried changing my password** Same result. Everywhere I go all the forums & tutorials login using a token. Am I doing something wrong? ---

I’ve found that using login() rather than notebook\_login() works better. The code looks like: from huggingface\_hub import login login(new\_session=False, # Won’t request token if one is already saved on machine write\_permission=True, # Requires a token with write permission token=‘Your token’, # The name of your token add\_to\_git\_credential=True) Have a hugging face token ready ahead of time that you can copy and paste into the ‘token’ argument. If you created a token with a write permission, use write\_permission=True. You won’t have to use the cli if you do it this way. ---

You may have specified the wrong space. Make sure the access token you are using is for the intended space.
