Hi guys,

I'm starting to encounter this error all of a sudden when trying to authenticate to ArcGIS Online using my username and password. This has worked before in other instances but all of a sudden it started raising this cryptic error. Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on?

The credentials should still be active. I haven't changed them since the last time I used this script.

 

 

gis = GIS(url=r"https://xxxx.maps.arcgis.com/", username="xxxx", password="xxxx")

 

 I get this error:

Just an update.

API started working again after I changed my password due to an expired password. That might have had something to do with this error since my password was expired but my old password was still "valid" in some way because I did not set a new password at the time.
