Kali 2020.2 live login credentials are not kali/kali

[Palmer25]

Hi,
I am trying to use the kali 2020.2 live usb but the advertised credentials for 2020.1 ( kali/kali) are not accepted.
They are not advertised on the Kali web site.

I have tried:

root/toor
kali/kali
root/"blank"
kali/"blank"
root/root

all with no success.

I have checked with the Virtualbox OVA version that accepts kali/kali.

Can somebody help?

Thanks
Palmer

PS My suggestion to the developers would be to include in the download a text file with the tested credential and/or add them permanently on the download page.

Hi,

Since 2020 release, you are invited to use a non-root user by default
You are prompted to create a non-root user during install of Kali, but if you are using Kali live, kali/kali works

It is explained here:
