Fritzbox default username has been removed in Fritz!OS 7.25 #95

Last night I updated my fritzbox 7590 to Fritz!OS 7.25 and noticed my fritzconnection script broke. From the traceback:

fritzconnection.core.exceptions.FritzConnectionException: Unable to perform operation. 401 Unauthorized (ERR_NONE)401 UnauthorizedERR_NONEWebserver Tue, 20 Apr 2021 06:06:07 GMT

It appears that AVM has replaced the default username. It is no longer "dsl-config" but something like "fritz1234" where the 1234 is probably a random number. This means there is no default username and it must be specified:

conn = FritzConnection(user="fritz1234",password="abcd1234")

or:

fritzconnection -u fritz1234 -p abcd1234

One can find the username in the web interface at "System->FRITZ!box users".

Edit: another solution would be to recreate the dsl-config user in the fritzbox.

AVM has announced this change: https://avm.de/service/schnittstellen/. Since OS 7.25 every user can set a username (as before) or gets an individual default-username according to the mentioned pattern. So fritzconnection is not broken, but starting from OS 7.25 the username is no longer optional.

With version 1.5 the username ist optional again for FritzOS >= 7.24 (using the last logged in user in this case).

Since 1.5.0 the new default usernames are handled according the AVM guideline.
