Hello, With the new mortality.org web, can i still download data from HMD using this package? Because, through my username and password using hmd.mx i get the following error Connection error at www.mortality.org. Please check username, password and country label. I am sure that username and password is correct. Can you help me?

Thank you.

You currently have to use the old site and login details: https://former.mortality.org

Note that the new login details do not work on the old site. You need a username and password from the old site.

so, i can still use hmd.mx(country, username, password, label = country) code to get the data from HMD but using a username and password from the old site or i need to construct the code by myself?

You can use the function provided you use a username and password from the old site. I haven't updated it yet for the new site as the new API has not yet been published.
