nerdctl login fails when 2fa is enabled (registry.gitlab.com)

[hrkrx]

Description

When enabling 2fa in gitlab the login to the registry is not working.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. enable gitlab 2fa
2. run "nerdctl login registry.gitlab.com -u user"
3. input password
4. Error:

ERRO[0012] failed to call tryLoginWithRegHost            error="failed to call rh.Authorizer.Authorize: failed to fetch oauth token: unexpected status from GET request to https://gitlab.com/jwt/auth?offline_token=true&service=container_registry: 401 Unauthorized" i=0
FATA[0012] failed to call rh.Authorizer.Authorize: failed to fetch oauth token: unexpected status from GET request to https://gitlab.com/jwt/auth?offline_token=true&service=container_registry: 401 Unauthorized

Describe the results you received and expected

I expected the login to function normally even with 2fa

Thanks @hrkrx
I am not a gitlab user.
Would you have a reproducer for this? (eg: a few lines to setup gitlab with 2fa locally)

Otherwise, I will look into gitlab of course - but might take some time.

@hrkrx does docker support 2FA?

[apostasie]

Actually, since you enabled 2FA, you need to use a personal access token or a deploy token to login against your gitlab registry with a cli.

This is true for both docker and nerdctl.
