Rain Loop Authentication failed

Hello guys,
Please I just installed Cyberpanel on my VPS, and I created a website I believe everything was set up correctly but I can’t log in to Rainloop. I keep getting an “Authentication Failed” Error message. Please how can I solve this? “Authentication Failed” problem for Rainloop?

How did you install CyberPanel? your provider? os?

My VPS provider is Namecheap ubuntu ubuntu 20.04
sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)

The same issue is occuring with latest vesion installed 4 days ago. I have upgrade to latest commit but same error is showing in logs(May 17 10:13:05 host dovecot: auth-worker(286647): Error: sql([email protected],127.0.0.1,<l15LvTXfhpV/AAAB>): Invalid password in passdb: crypt() failed: Invalid argument)
Please help

I have temporary resolved the issue by modifing the email password with MD5. Now, its allowing the user to login.
