Failing to push Istio images to registry with WSL

I am using WSL2 on Windows 11 and have encountered the following error when running make docker.push following the instructions to set up an Istio dev environment:

ERROR: error getting credentials - err: exec: "docker-credential-desktop.exe": executable file not found in $PATH, out: ``

docker-credential-desktop is on my path at usr/bin. I found recommendations to remove or rename credsStore in ~/.docker/config.json. When I remove or rename credsStore I get the following error:

ERROR: denied: requested access to the resource is denied

Could the process for developing with WSL be added to the guides? Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I was able to get make docker.push to succeed by removing the credsStore field from the docker config and then performing a docker logout and docker login.

Although this allows me to push the Istio images to my docker hub, I believe my credentials are stored directly in the docker config which is not ideal.

Are there any alternative solutions you would suggest? I tried using the linux credential store, but also ran into an error. I followed the instructions outlined in this post. When performing docker logout I got the following error:

Removing login credentials for https://index.docker.io/v1/
WARNING: could not erase credentials:
https://index.docker.io/v1/: error erasing credentials - err: exit status 1, out: `exit status 1: Error: docker-credential-helpers/<cred> is not in the password store.`
