Unable to authenticate to Engage with GH OAuth

[AdmiralAsshat]

I setup an Engage account using the "Sign In with Github" feature, rather than constructing one from scratch. I do not seem to be able to authenticate to the Engage server as a result when trying to add a template.

$ canvas template add AdmiralAsshat:laptop --user AdmiralAsshat
Password (AdmiralAsshat):

ERROR:root:error: unable to authenticate
Traceback (most recent call last):

Ah, you'll need to set a password to auth with canvas.

It isn't possible to reset the password either as the user or with my Admin login. It appears to accept it but then says unable to reset password.
