Issues Getting Authentik Going (alien.top)

Alright, I'm having issues getting Authentik up and running. I keep getting the below error whenever I spin up the default docker-compose.yml as found on this page (the official documentation for docker compose).

{"event": "PostgreSQL connection failed, retrying... (connection failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user \"authentik\")", "level": "info", "logger": "authentik.lib.config", "timestamp": 1701035903.4266412}

While I have experience running this stuff, I'm just not seeing where I'm goofing up. I'm convinced at this point that it's something easy I'm just overlooking. Again, I'm using the default docker-compose.yml and I generated the .env file as directed in the link I provided at the top.

Thanks.

I installed authentik a few weeks ago, I'm not an expert but it looks like your credentials for the postgres container aren't correct

Did you install via docker? Did you perform any modifications to the compose file aside from the steps listed in the directions?

Your postgres credential is the issue.
