Answer 1

I had a similar problem.

Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/hadolint/hadolint/manifests/latest: unauthorized: incorrect username or password

I found out out that even if I login successfully with the docker login command, any pull failed. I tried to clean up the ~/.docker/config.json but nothing improved.

Looking in the config file I've seen that the credentials were not saved there but in a "credsStore": "secretservice". In Linux this happen to be the seahorse or Passwords and Keys tool. I checked there and I cleanup all the docker hub login. After this a new docker login worked as expected.
