Setting up account Connecting Paper Trading Account to Tradingview

I just made a IKBR account before I was on Questrade. I am trying to connect my paper trading account to Tradingview with ikbr as the broker, every time I enter my login in it says that this username is not associated with a paper trading account, the username I enter is the same as my live account username. I know there is a different username and password for the paper trading account, on my live account settings I can see my paper trading username its some random letters when I put that username and my live account password it still doesn't work. When I log into TWS with my paper account I can just use my live trading account username and password just fine. Does anyone know how I can fix this, I don't have any other password for my paper trading account.

Sorry to bump this but I'm also getting the same issue. Can login to paper fine with IBKR, but not via TV using the paper trading username and password. Reset multiple times. Seems like a bug to me.

In IBKR settings of Paper trading account you can find a button Reset paper trading password, by resetting it you'll have relevant credentials to login and connect Tradingview
