Not sure what's going on - it seems like the code is working for other people? I've tried on OSX as well as Ubuntu Server with the same results. Thanks!

Same problem here, not sure if something has changed on Garmin side

[bpaliswiat]

Ahh, I had to login from the browser with "remember this device" checked. Now everything works perfectly

In my experience, Garmin's API is highly unstable. I have this problem arbitrarily happening every now and then, but quite often. I haven't had the time yet to investigate any further the reason behind it. Maybe @cyberjunky knows more...

I'm also experiencing the same issue. My results have been inconsistent and seems to be an almost 75% failure rate. @cyberjunky I'd be more than willing assist with troubleshooting! I love what you've created thus far so I'd enjoy being a part of making it better.

I have look at another garmin connect project (which only downloads training data) and it has another approach in logging on, I'm testing if this works better.
