Unable to download vimeo password protected videos

[pokryva]

Hi,
I am unable to download vimeo password protected videos. I tested and I am able to download regular vimeo videos though.

youtube-dl output:

For obvious reasons (this is a pay-for-view video of some DIY instructions, I don't think the owner would appreciate distributing the password over the net) I cannot provide the link and the actual password. I can confirm that this video is playable, when I enter the URL via browser and provide the password.

Thanks for the report, it should work again in the next version. Please comment here or open a new issue if it doesn't work with your video.

It works like a charm, thank you!

Error message clearly states: Wrong login info.
