unsafe password works tho...

You haven't wrapped the password in "'s like it shows.

I'm seeing the same issue. Even with quotes the hashed password isn't accepted.

However I generated my password hash differently as the suggested approach - npc argon2-cli - has a large red warning telling you to use the argon2 binary directly. So I generated my hash using:

echo '$PASSWORD' | argon2 $SALT -e

It turns out that I was just being an idiot. I hadn't taken into account that echo adds a newline. I regenerated the hash using:

echo -n '$PASSWORD' | argon2 $SALT -e

Which fixed my particular issue.
