Hello I am running SonarQube in windows

I got an error while running sonar-scanner:

Where and how I can change sonar.login and sonar.password ?

The documentation on the SonarScanner provides details on configuring analysis paramters.

Hello,
The documentation on the SonarScanner doesn’t refer to sonar.password parameter anymore, does it mean that it will be deprecated shortly?
Do you still advice to use it?
My tests can show that it is still correctly used with sonar.login as credentials, but the doc seems to only promote token usage through sonar.login property.
Could you clarify this point please?
Thx for your feedback.

Hey there.

sonar.password was deprecated in SonarQube v9.8 ([SONAR-4043] - Jira) – passing a token to sonar.login is reccomended.
