I use Shiny Manager Package to provide basic authentication for a Shiny App. This post is about the customizing the style the log in page.

Many years ago, I received feedback with the suggestion to change the default message. However, I could not figure out how to make this change.

However, I took another stab at it and was able to figure it out with the help of Claude.ai. I

shinymanager::set_labels(
    language = "en",
    "Please authenticate" = "Please log in"
)

The required change was easy but not obvious to me. I placed this code in the run_app.R function in my Shiny Application
