New-Sensor / Add-Sensor reports Could not authenticate to PRTG; the specified username and password were invalid

Describe the bug

Hi

Apologies - looks like I may have encountered a bug, due to an alteration in PRTG... as we recently upgraded our PRTG installation (everything was working correctly before) PRTG version : PRTG Network Monitor 23.3.86.1520 x64 PRTG API version: 0.9.17, also tried with 0.9.18 - both same outcomes.

I'm able to successfully connect and query get - e.g. get-device works correctly.

However, when I try to add a sensor via Add-Sensor or New-Sensor, it comes back with the error: "Could not authenticate to PRTG; the specified username and password were invalid"

If I try to clone an object, this works correctly (see additional info)

Steps to reproduce

[DBG]: PS D:\GIT\VMAD\PRTG_SCRIPTS>> $a=get-device -id 36960 | Get-SensorTarget wmiService Server

[DBG]: PS D:\GIT\VMAD\PRTG_SCRIPTS>> get-device -id 36960 | New-Sensor -WmiService $a
New-Sensor : Could not authenticate to PRTG; the specified username and password were invalid.

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [New-Sensor], HttpRequestException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException,PrtgAPI.PowerShell.Cmdlets.NewSensor

What is the output of 'Get-PrtgClient -Diagnostic'?

Additional information - I'm able to manually log into PRTG and manually add sensors so PRTG itself is not broken. I'm also able to create device entries via the API.

Many thanks

Carl.

Many thanks for the swift reply - I've downloaded and used the latest version and this has cured the issue. :-)
