Answer 1

If you want to get past dashboard's authentification prompt and then be able to do admin-things on the dashboard, I recommmend this: https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/wiki/Creating-sample-user.

Answer 2

For me i realised i was following a slightly out of date tutorial for installing the dashboard (i was installing v1 of the dashboard, but v2 exists).

• First go to the official source which will instruct you the correct most up to date version to install.
• Then Create An Authentication Token (RBAC)

Now you can use the token to login to the dashboard.
