If you still get an error after updating the CLI, check the Salesforce DX help documentation for more information.
Common Issues with Authentication
If you encounter issues while authenticating your orgs (for example, if you’re prompted for a username and password that you don’t have), make sure that you’re using the correct login URL. The login URLs for Dev Hub orgs and non-Dev Hub orgs are different. To determine which login URL to use, see Authenticate Orgs.
If you’re still having problems authenticating your org, post your issue in the Salesforce DX Developer Forum.
