When I run this in terminal

fastlane deliver download_metadata -u ${USER_NAME} -a ${APP_ID}

The login credentials for '***@***.com' seem to be wrong Do you want to re-enter your password? (y/n)

And after I retry several times, My apple ID has been locked

I've checked that My Apple ID and password is correct.

Realy need help to resolve the problerm, THX

PS

I've try to write the command in fastfile. but it still get the same issue. SAD...

[TalRandi1]

Same behavior for me when I tried running -

fastlane spaceauth -u

My account has been locked recently and it seems to be related. Anyway, It's unlocked now and I managed to log into my account via the browser.

I have had the same error since last week when trying to use fastlane deliver. My account is not locked out as I can still upload builds via Transporter and add metadata via the browser.
Only Fastlane fails to login, and it fails regardless of whether I use my regular password or an app-specific password.

I've tried specifying the password in both a DeliverFile in my fastlane project, and manually specifying them when deliver is called:

export FASTLANE_APPLE_APPLICATION_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD=abcd-abcd-abcd-abcd
export FASTLANE_ITUNES_TRANSPORTER_USE_SHELL_SCRIPT=1 
export FASTLANE_ITUNES_TRANSPORTER_PATH=/usr/local/itms
export FASTLANE_PASSWORD=abcd-abcd-abcd-abcd

fastlane deliver

fastlane spaceauth -u

Saddly, my account is still been locked after I'm trying to run the command and failedseveral times.... BTW, I can login via browser and unlock my account. But isn't it ridiculous to have to use a browser to unlock your account every time?

Update: I was able to get Fastlane to successfully login.
First I had to reset my Apple password, I'm not sure why though as it worked elsewhere. The next login attempt (with new password set as an environment variable) still failed, but it then asked me to re-enter my password which then worked.

So something is not right somewhere, but it's possible that it's an issue at Apple's end. In my case the old password was one that had not been changed in a very long time, so it's possible that was the cause of it being rejected when used in a CLI (even though it did not state that as the reason for failure).

[TalRandi1]

@alanflickgames, Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, I tried changing the password, and it didn't work.

If anyone has any more suggestions, I'd love to try.

[Evgeniyberkut]

So i experienced the same issue After a full day of researching and considering to do as MattKiazyk offered i found the solution for me:

• I simply changed apple id from "Example@icloud.com" to "example@icloud.com" in my project and it worked.

[EricHYF]

An update on my recent progress: The issue has been solved.

The developer account I use for myself hasn't updated its password in over 3 years This seems to be considered a password vulnerability by Apple. After trying various options to no avail I changed the password for my developer AppleID. Fastlane now works fine.

I hope this provides some ideas for those of you who are experiencing the same problem as me. Thanks to those who replied to my post!

The problem can be closed now!
