I am using selenium/standalone-chrome-debug .

By default connecting to the container via VNC will trigger an authentication prompt which can be avoided by setting an environment variable as per the documentation :

If you want to run VNC without password authentication you can set the environment variable VNC_NO_PASSWORD=1 .

When I start the container with the following command, I'm still prompted for the password:

docker run -d -p 4444:4444 -p 0:5900 -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm -e VNC_NO_PASSWORD=1 selenium/standalone-chrome-debug
As you can see in the following screencast:
I'm still asked for a password
Trying to authenticate without password fails
When I use the default password (secret), it passes
Question: how do I avoid authentication completely?
                For future visitors: this was changed to require SE_VNC_NO_PASSWORD: 1 as of around tag 4.2.2-20220622. See github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium/pull/1603
