Suddendly unable to login

[McAldo]

I am on Ubuntu and have been happily using coursera-dl for months now, with .netrc credentials. Updated to latest version via PIP It suddenly stopped being able to access:

I have the same problem with another software accessing Coursera, so I guess something must have changed on their side of things.

Credentials found in .netrc file Logging in as 'myname@myemail.com'... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/coursera-dl", line 9, in load_entry_point('coursera-dl==2.0.1', 'console_scripts', 'coursera-dl')() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py", line 640, in main d.login(args.course_names[0]) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/courseradownloader/courseradownloader.py", line 111, in login raise Exception("Failed to authenticate as %s" % self.username) Exception: Failed to authenticate as myname@myemail.com

I read there is a workaround via the -c option, II exported my cookies.text file but I am unclear how to use it as -c is not an option with coursera-dl "One can export a Netscape-style cookies file with a browser extension (1, 2) and use it with the -c option. This comes in handy when the authentication via password is not working (the authentication process changes now and then)."

I am having the exact same problem. Also on Ubuntu. Used coursera-dl many times in the past with no problem and now won't authenticate. Tried 2 different coursers I'm currently enrolled in.

I upgraded to current v2.0.2, worked again.

Thanks for fixing this! upgraded with sudo pip install --upgrade coursera-dl and it all works great again :)
