Hello Todd,
I am having the same issue after installing sensu-backend and agent on the same machine running centos7. I have initialize the backend.

After doing the following:
export SENSU_BACKEND_CLUSTER_ADMIN_USERNAME=
export SENSU_BACKEND_CLUSTER_ADMIN_PASSWORD=
sensu-backend init

I am able to access " http://localhost:3000

However, i am getting the following errors =>

# sensuctl
Error: Unable to locate credentials. You can either configure credentials by running “sensuctl configure” or by using the --api-key command line option

then =>

# sensuctl configure
? Authentication method: username/password
? Sensu Backend API URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080
? Namespace: default
? Preferred output format: tabular
? Username: admin
? Password: *********

Error: unable to authenticate with error: Unauthorized

Any helps is greatly appreciate.
Thank you again for your help

Strange.
I did a fresh install on centos7 just to see if I can reproduce your issue:

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/sensu/stable/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
....
yum install -y sensu-go-backend sensu-go-agent sensu-go-cli
...
curl -L https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/files/backend.yml -o /etc/sensu/backend.yml
service sensu-backend start
export SENSU_BACKEND_CLUSTER_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
export SENSU_BACKEND_CLUSTER_ADMIN_PASSWORD=P@ssw0rd0
sensu-backend init
systemctl stop firewalld # to be able to connect to the VM on port 3000

As connection with WebUI is OK I have the same thing as you do. So lets try sensuctl configure:

> sensuctl configure
? Authentication method: username/password
? Sensu Backend API URL: http://localhost:8080
? Namespace: default
? Preferred output format: tabular
? Username: admin
? Password: *********

> sensuctl namespace list
   Name    
───────────
  default

No issue at all.
Would it be possible to look at your backend.yml? In my test I used the one from the doc without modifying anything
