Hi, it seems that packt has modified the login system using recaptcha. Is there any solution to this ?

BurnhamG commented 4 years ago

Thanks for bringing this up! I heard about this issue and will definitely be taking a look at it ASAP.

BurnhamG commented 4 years ago

Hi @jackyhjj, I was taking a look and haven't run into any issues with a recaptcha on my end. What kind of problems are you seeing?

jackyhjj commented 4 years ago

Hi, it seems that it is working now because of the free week for black friday promotion. Will try again next week when it ends. Thanks!

jackyhjj commented 4 years ago

Hi, It is working fine even after the promotion weeks end. Thanks a lot!

Hi @BurnhamG , i have this error when I try to run the download command today.

I haven't changed any password or email command, been using it copy and paste. And now there is an error logging in.

BurnhamG commented 4 years ago

Hi @jackyhjj, thanks for letting me know about this! I'll take a look at let you know what I find. What branch are you using?

jackyhjj commented 4 years ago

Hi @BurnhamG , I am using the master branch.

BurnhamG commented 4 years ago

Thanks again, @jackyhjj , I really appreciate it. I was able to run the master branch without any problems, though I have fixed the error of an undefined variable. Try running it again, and this time it should give you the actual error code if you have problems logging in.

hi @BurnhamG , happy new year 2020! I am able to login again now. It seems that the login function with recaptcha is not always applied on packt server. But occasionally, they will activate recaptcha function upon login. Cheers! thanks for your update.

BurnhamG commented 4 years ago

Happy New Year! I'm glad to hear that it works again - I know a lot of people have been experiencing login issues due to the captcha, so I'll investigate ways of handling this in the script.

jackyhjj commented 4 years ago

well, i have been browsing around and found this repo issue packt_recaptcha_issue it seems that they use an anti-captcha service to handle that. It might give you some insights. Cheers!
