Ran into an issue like this, turned out I needed to login to my Microsoft account on my web browser to add a secondary email address

So adding secondary email and using it to login fixes the issue?

Incorrect password entered. My paassword is random sequence of characters, including for example \ this may couse errors?

[3arthqu4ke]

Oh I think so, will have to fix that. For now you have to escape every \ with another \, so \\. You also need to escape " with \.

I'm having a similar issue:

$ docker run --rm -it 3arthqu4ke/headlessmc
$ hmc login me@gmail.com "passw0rd"

Which, has my details redacted... but the output is identical. I've triple-checked the email and password, even copy/pasting from command-line into a web-login. My account has 2FA, so I suspect this is due to #90

[realcatirl]

Yea, that may be the reason

Have you also tried this out?
