Auth Failure: Can't get new session, old sessions work #17

Closed Kody-Quintana closed 3 years ago

Kody-Quintana commented 6 years ago

I've been using this module successfully for about a week and have been able to connect, download, and upload files. I recently added an option to my script to delete the old sp-session.pkl so when the script is run again the user must enter their credentials again instead of automatically loading the sp-session.pkl. Now when I attempt to authenticate a new session I receive the message:

Authentication Failure: AADSTS70002: Error validating credentials. AADSTS50126: Invalid username or password"

If I load a copy of the old sp-session.pkl it authenticates and works fine. Attempting to login with another user also fails, but logging in to sharepoint online in a web browser works fine. Any idea what could be causing this?

Are you using exactly the same username and password as before when you created the session file?

Incidentally, you shouldn't need to delete the session file to start a new session. Just call sharepy.connect() again instead of sharepy.load().

Yes, and my intention for adding an option for deleting the pkl file is that it stores the password in plaintext. My problem now is I have this working session file but I cannot create new sessions for myself or other users.

You're not the only one with this issue it seems: #19.
