Asking authentication when I connect to 127.0.0.1:8888

[ihk]

Hello,

I am trying to connect local Jupyter server.  It doesn't ask authentication if I use URL  localhost:8888

however, it asks authentication token if I use URL  12.0.0.1:8888 .

Is there a way to bypass security for 127.0.0.1 ? 

(The reason I am asking is  pycharm uses 127.0.0.1 to connect Jupyter , and everytime I connect I need to find auth token and enter in pycharm)

I use anaconda and pycharm.

thanks.

Yes, the login page should say:

Token authentication is enabled. You need to open the notebook server
with its first-time login token in the URL, or **enable a password**
in order to gain access.

(emphase mine)

Setting a password will remove the need for a token and you'll be able
to always use the same password.

The authentication can't be disabled, even for 127.0.0.1, or otherwise
website your visit could send requests and runcode on your machine.
It's probably not something you want.

If you setup a password, then the password will alway be the same, and
you should not have to re-enter it.
