Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Support for vier.be is currently broken. The site requires username and password authentication. I have created an account on the site using username: eirudjkxcnm@mailinator.com and password 12345678 which can be used for testing.

Thanks for any help!

#15636 fixes the issue, so you could try to use that version. (As a temporary solution of course, PR needs to be merged to fix this issue)

Thank you, I did not search through the pending pull requests before posting this. Glad it was already spotted and a fix is on the way.
