I’m trying to get a login page working on my newly-created site, but I’m having problems.

I keep getting this error:

object(Authentication\Authenticator\Result)#142 (3) { [“\_status”:protected]=\> string(26) “FAILURE\_IDENTITY\_NOT\_FOUND” [“\_data”:protected]=\> NULL [“\_errors”:protected]=\> array(1) { [“Password”]=\> array(0) { } } }

I’ve created a table called tUsers (which I noted in the Model).

I think the problem is with the authentication service, but I’m not sure. When I print out $authenticationServer, it’s blank:

```
    $authenticationService->loadIdentifier('Authentication.Password', [
        'fields' => [
            'username' => 'username',
            'password' => 'password',
        ],
    ]);

```

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Try

```auto
        $fields = [
            AbstractIdentifier::CREDENTIAL_USERNAME => 'username',
            AbstractIdentifier::CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD => 'password',
        ];

        $service->loadIdentifier('Authentication.Password', [
            'fields' => $fields,
        ]);

```

Table name `tUsers` or `Users`? I have table `Users`
