Devise sign_in(:user, #user) 401 Error - ruby-on-rails

Question

When a user creates a password update action is hit.
module Users
class PasswordController < ApplicationController
skip_before_action :authenticate_user!
before_action :set_user
def setup
render file: "#{Rails.root}/public/404" unless #user&.sign_in_count&.zero?
end
def update
if #user.update_attributes(password_params)
sign_in(:user, #user)
redirect_to root_path, notice: 'Setup complete'
else
flash[:alert] = errors(#user)
render :setup
end
end
private
def password_params
params.require(:user).permit(:password, :password_confirmation)
end
def set_user
#user = User.find_by(confirmation_token: params[:token])
end
end
end
When the update action is hit.
This is what the console shows

Does anyone know why the sign_in method isn't working here?
I used it on few apps and it worked then.
Thank you for any help in advance.

You can use it like this
#user.update_with_password(password_params)
sign_in #user, :bypass => true
Hope it will work for you as it worked for me!
