A few questions/comments:

  1. At first blush, given that things seem to be working fine (i.e. it’s giving me authenticated info), showing me this message is a bug.
  2. What exactly is no longer supported, here? If things were NOT working fine, I wouldn’t know what to do.
  3. Might want to check the grammar of that sentence.

Thanks, I actually removed that sentence; everything should work with those existing credentials.

We actually moved to storing everything in a keyring and for CI, no more login --with (although still supported to not break workflows) and instead we pick credentials directly from an environment variable. Here’s a bit more info in the form of documentation (semi howto) around that https://snapcraft.io/docs/snapcraft-authentication

This should be fixed in 7.0.8 now on latest/candidate and 7.x/candidate
