Breakage - Sign In Failure [29 Jun 2019] #19

Closed sliceofcake closed 5 years ago

sliceofcake commented 5 years ago

Script fails when attempting sign in. Manually, the error message is the completely irrelevant one saying that too many bad password attempts were made and a temporary lock is therefore in place. You can still manually get in reliably by just answering the grid captcha. Their system is a mess though - it seems to randomly ask you for a captcha and randomly show or not show that message. I tried visiting the page to copy-paste the text here, but I can't get the error message again - it just manually signs in without issue now.

I see a bunch of criteo.com stuff on page load triggers, so wondering if they recently partnered with some third-party group and maybe it affected their authentication.

Or it could just by my account and/or bad luck. Will wait this one out for a few days because I'm currently at a loss...

ADD: Was working fine on [22 Jun 2019].

Still a problem. The going theory is that pixiv changed their reCAPTCHA flow. Added a cookie override mode so that the script at least works in the meantime. Will think about full automation later, but it could be prohibitively complicated. a543a0e3230c4c8e71a2171089f95035a5df569c

Now working as if the problem never manifested. Seems that it \~was\~ just temporary bad luck on my specific account.
