Homestead application asks for password

I am halfway through the Build a Laravel App with TDD, and wanted to set up a Homestead instance to run it on my desktop. But when I try to access, it asks for a username and password (something that didn't happen on my laptop). Has this happened to anyone else?

Homestead.yaml:

---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 2
provider: virtualbox

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys:
    - ~/.ssh/id_rsa

folders:
    - map: ~/code/birdboard
      to: /home/vagrant/code/birdboard

sites:
    - map: birdboard.local
      to: /home/vagrant/code/birdboard/public

databases:
    - birdboard

features:
    - mariadb: true
    - ohmyzsh: false
    - webdriver: false
  • OS: Ubuntu Linux 19.04
  • Vagrant version: 2.2.6
  • Virtualbox version: 6.0.6_Ubuntu r129722
  • Homestead version: 'laravel/homestead (virtualbox, 8.2.1)'

Here is a screenshot of what I see in the browser

Does it work with vagrant as both user and password?

No, it doesn't. I've also tried with homestead / secret, but no luck either. Anyways, I've never seen this behaviour, and don't know where it comes from.
