This seems to be due to too many failed login attempts and your edx account is locked, just try again later. This may take 30 minutes or an hour.

At this time, you can try to login at edx.org, but you probably won't be able to login either. This problem has nothing to do with this edx-helper.

If you can login at edx.org but cannot login using this download tool, please tell me.

Why is my account locked?

Hi, thanks for the prompt feedback. My account was not locked. I could log in perfectly through the website. I tried again today with a clean venv and I guess it must have been me doing something wrong, as it seems to work now. Sorry for the disturbance.
