Get ArgoCD default admin password

To get ArgoCD default admin password after installation, run:

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret \
          -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo

The default admin user is admin.

If the machine, for some reason, doesn't have the base64 binary you can alternatively use openssl to do the decoding.

kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" \
  | openssl base64 -A -d; echo

Edit: pasted the wrong command earlier
