The following is most likely user-error. Prior to today, all was working perfectly. However, I recently had to kill a running process while downloading, from a previous version, then as advised used the current version, with no difference. I've confirmed that my credentials are correct and able to login to the site. I have searched forums and other comments to no avail. Here is the general error:

ERROR: Unable to log in

Attached, you will find a zipped text file of the full command and dump-pages.

PS: I suspect that something has gotten cached (or remnants of another run) in my Windows environment, but aren't yet familiar enough the Python to troubleshoot it myself.

For any further investigations you must provide account credentials.

I am sorry. I will not provide my credentials. If you can not continue, then I will find another solution.

I would have thought the data-dump would be enough to troubleshoot.

[dstftw]

That's probably enough but I'm not going to do so without the actual check from my side.
