Invalid password. Please generate a new password from the Theme Access app

My store is password protected, which I think is related to the issue I am having.

I get the following error when I run my CI/CD pipeline:

I have set the access_token, store and password.

If I change the access_token to some random string, I get this error instead:

So Im failry certain that the access_token is not the issue, likewise if I change the store, I get this:

This leaves the password, I have tried setting it to the password which protects the site, the password I use to connect to the Shopify CLI locally, the access_token value, the Storefront API access token, the API key and the API secret key. But none of these values worked, and I receive the same error.

Ive confirmed that the collection_handle also exists.

My code looks like:

    name: Lighthouse
    needs: theme-check
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Lighthouse
        uses: shopify/lighthouse-ci-action@v1
        with:
          access_token: ${{ secrets.SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN_DEV }}
          store: ${{ secrets.SHOPIFY_STORE_DEV }}
          password: ${{ secrets.SHOP_PASSWORD_DEV }}
          lhci_github_app_token: ${{ secrets.LHCI_GITHUB_APP_TOKEN }}
          theme_root: ./src/theme
          lhci_min_score_performance: ${{ vars.LHCI_MIN_SCORE_PERFORMANCE }}
          lhci_min_score_accessibility: ${{ vars.LHCI_MIN_SCORE_ACCESSIBILITY }}
          collection_handle: test

Am I able to run this on a store which is password protected? And if so what should the password value be?

@cdennington Please install the theme-access app on your store, generate an access token, and add it to SHOP_ACCESS_TOKEN. After that, it should work.

For folks in the future:

• password should be the value that you use to enter the site in the browser, ie the storefront's password protection value
• access_token should be the value either from Theme Access (which is undocumented but can work) or an App
