How to disable password request for a Jupyter notebook session?

Question

I have been launching Jupyter Notebook for years using the following command:

jupyter-notebook --port=7000 --no-browser --no-mathjax

When I t

Answer 1

If you are trying to run from docker without password just use CMD like bellow:

CMD ["jupyter", "notebook", "--no-browser","--NotebookApp.token=''","--NotebookApp.password=''"]

Answer 2

The following is very unsafe, but you can remove the password completely with:

jupyter notebook --ip='*' --NotebookApp.token='' --NotebookApp.password=''

Without --NotebookApp.password='', when connecting from a remote computer to a local Jupyter launched simply with:

jupyter notebook --ip='*'

it still asks for a password for security reasons, since users with access can run arbitrary Python code on the server machine!

Note that on my machine, running just:

jupyter notebook

already opens a logged-in window on my browser, and stdout contains:

    To access the notebook, open this file in a browser:
        file:///home/ciro/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/nbserver-3286-open.html
    Or copy and paste one of these URLs:
        http://localhost:8888/?token=7c9265bf9df5f57cf5da88f410a71b097e2548ae375826b7
     or http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=7c9265bf9df5f57cf5da88f410a71b097e2548ae375826b7

so if your browser is not opening automatically, you can try one of those links, which seem to have a login token on them, and then investigate why your browser is not opening automatically.

Tested on Jupyter 4.4.x, Ubuntu 18.04.

Answer 3

The same issue occured on my machine since the last update of the jupyter-notebook package. After installing version

jupyter-notebook-4.3.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

it prompted me for a password I never set. Downgrading to

jupyter-notebook-4.2.3-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

worked for me keeping the system a productive environment. Of course this is just a fast patch.

I also wondered where the password was set since I don't have an explicit config file in my .jupyter-folder. Setting up my own with

password_required=False

made no difference.

Answer 4

For me, the solutions described above was not applicable in Docker.

The following solution works like a charm on Linux:

Details:

• used image: tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-py3-jupyter
• password I configured: 'password'
• run Jupyter as a user (not root)

Steps to start Jupyter in Docker with your pre-defined password:

1. export JUPYTER_TOKEN='password'
2. docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) -e JUPYTER_TOKEN=$JUPYTER_TOKEN -v /home/<user>/jupyter:/tf/ tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-py3-jupyter
3. open http://localhost:8888 and use 'password' as your password
4. save password in ypur browser

For me, that is the easiest way to get rid of the annoying token authentication.

How to avoid "Invalid credentials" by disabling jupyter Notebook Password & Token

First open Anaconda Prompt

1. Enter the command jupyter notebook --generate-config

 c.NotebookApp.token = ''
 c.NotebookApp.password = u''
 c.NotebookApp.open_browser = True
 c.NotebookApp.ip = 'localhost'

Now launch the jupyter notebook from anaconda navigator definitely the problem will be resolved as soon..

Answer 6

Use the command jupyter notebook password to open jupyter & it asks to enter a new password.

The hashed password is updated in the jupyter_notebook_config.json file.
