Amazon Anti-automation challenge

[minideezel]

Trying to get this to work on Amazon, but it keeps running into an anti-automation challenge when trying to log in. See failures attached.

Are you using a VPN or a different network than you would normally log in with?

This can also happen if you try running debbit too many times in a row.

[minideezel]

Nope, normal network. I got it the first time I ran debbit I think. It definitely didn't do any transactions before I was getting that. I had just changed my password and added a phone number to Amazon tho. I'll try to run it again later.

I intend to add the code to handle the anti-automation challenge.

Also, I've got an in-progress branch that keeps the debbit Firefox window open for multiple purchases. This should help prevent this issue since Amazon won't think it's a new browser logging into your account every time.

Is "close_browser: no" in yet?

[jakehilborn]

@Marksman79 Yes but only if you download and run the source code. I'm trying to get the next release out soon, but it might be a couple weeks.

If you download the latest code on the master branch you can use it now. I deleted the "close_browser: no" feature and replaced it with a different solution that uses cookies. Instructions for the current code on the master branch are found at http://jakehilborn.github.io/debbit

[Marksman79]

Much thanks for the status update! I'm more than happy to wait until the full release -- take your time :)

@Marksman79 Debbit 2.0 has been released which supports cookie persistence. This should prevent the anti-automation challenges causing failures.

v2.0 Worked perfectly, had the automation challenge and was able to enter the code and the OTP and then press enter in Debbit and it proceeded with no problem!
