Add-Sensor : Could not authenticate to PRTG; the specified username and password were invalid.

Describe the bug

Hi,

I updated to the latest version of PRTG and since then, it seems that my script that automatically clean and recreate a new sensor EXE/XML sensor failed with the generic error Could not authenticate.

I think this is related to this issue also: #268

Steps to reproduce

$nsCertificateSensorParam = New-SensorParameters ExeXml "NS Certificates SSL Expiration" "NetScaler-CertExpiration.ps1"
$nsCertificateSensorParam.ExeParameters = "%device %linuxuser %linuxpassword"
$nsCertificateSensorParam.Interval = "02:00:00"
Get-Device NETSCALER* | Add-Sensor $nsCertificateSensorParam

The last command gives the error:
Add-Sensor : Could not authenticate to PRTG; the specified username and password were invalid.
At line:1 char:26

What is the output of 'Get-PrtgClient -Diagnostic'?
