      I'm running into some issues getting Retroachievements working on my RetroPie. Whenever I open a game where RetroAchievements should be enabled, I'm shown a message that my username and password are invalid. I'm just beginning to start using my RetroPie after several months of not using it. I'm wondering if my account could have become dormant or something. I recall that before I stopped using my RetroPie several months ago, the Retroachievements were working correctly.

      I've tried logging into my account at retroachievements.org and I'm able to do so with the password that I've entered in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg. Nonetheless, I tried changing the password and updating it in retroarch.cfg, but I still recieved the same error.

      I am using Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 and I've updated to the latest version of RetroPie using sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh and then selecting Update.

      The lines I'd added to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg are:

      cheevos_enable = true
      cheevos_username = "jplank"
      cheevos_password = "mypassword"
      cheevos_hardcore_mode_enable = true
      cheevos_verbose_enable = true
      cheevos_auto_screenshot = true

      The lines I'd added to /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg are:

      cheevos_auto_screenshot = "true"
      cheevos_badges_enable = "false"
      cheevos_enable = "true"
      cheevos_hardcore_mode_enable = "true"
      cheevos_leaderboards_enable = "false"
      cheevos_password = "mypassword"
      cheevos_richpresence_enable = "true"
      cheevos_start_active = "false"
      cheevos_test_unofficial = "false"
      cheevos_token = "mytoken"
      cheevos_username = "jplank"
      cheevos_verbose_enable = "true"

      (mypassword is actually my real password and mytoken is a series of characters)

      I'm a bit lost as to what to try to fix this. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

        Try removing the "token" line, and I imagine you only need the username and password in one place.

          @sleve_mcdichael Thanks! Removing those lines fixed it.
