Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version:  Version 3.15.5+181115
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: own hosting
Survey theme/template: custom template
==================
One of the admins on our system can't login anymore and gets the error message "Internal database authentication method is not allowed for this user".
Changing the password does not help. 
What can be wrong here?

Kind regards,
Auke

Do you have "Use internal database authentication" enabled in that users global permissions?

In my experience, that must be enabled.

(but I am not an authentication expert)

Merci Denis et Tony.
Problem is indeed solved. Still breaking my head over why this suddenly did not work but I will try to leave that quest to the cosmos.

Cheers,
