Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

After checking the hidive.py file i noticed it doesn't log the user in, which makes the whole script useless, since all content is locked for people that aren't logged in. So i would like to propose the idea of adding an authentication functionality to that script.
If Account Credentials are needed let me know how i can send them to you privately and i will do so!
Thanks in advance

post the full verbose log and make sure that you're using an updated python version(using python 3.6.x is recommended).
