Hi @bigrob69, Thank you very much for opening a ticket! I just tested the script and it is working properly with my account, which at least means LI hasn't changed their site so much to completely break the tool. Occasionally, they make changes to failed login attempts that break my current error catching, though. To troubleshoot, I would need more info. If you'd like, you can run the tool with the --proxy switch, send it through BurpSuite or ZAP, and see if you can determine what the error is. You can share an anonymized version of the replies with me if you feel comfortable doing that. You can email them to me at my username at protonmail.com. I would also just make sure you can log in via the web from the same source IP you are running the tool as, just to make sure there is nothing funky going on there. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this. Thanks!
