Hi Team,

I have installed PMM and for few days it was working fine, but now it looks like I can not login. It complains about Invalid credentials.

Tried to use Forgot password but am not getting any kind of emails during that procedure.

Hello @skotakonda ,  
have you configured SMTP?  
please configure SMTP like in [https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/get-started/alerting.html#configure-email-smtp-server-settings](https://docs.percona.com/percona-monitoring-and-management/get-started/alerting.html#configure-email-smtp-server-settings) so you PMM will be able to send emails.

@skotakonda where is PMM deployed? Like, is it on k8s or regular VM?
