First tutorial, credential error

From https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/getting-started/intercepting-http-traffic Under Modifying requests in Burp Proxy, step two has the user enter fake credentials to login to the fake shopping site. These credentials do not work... Instead an "Invalid username or password." message is displayed.

Hi Derek, In order to access the labs you need to be logged into your portswigger user account - if you are not logged in when you come to launch a lab then you will be firstly directed to login to your user account before then being redirected to the lab itself (after you have logged in successfully). Is that the issue that is occurring here (if the URL of the login page that you are being directed to is https://portswigger.net... then this is the login page for your actual portswigger user account)?
