Last RouterOS update broke login process

[okazdal]

Hello, It seems like with latest RouterOS updates, login process needs to be modified. Currently, we are getting this message on our script previously working:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/merlyn/PycharmProjects/violence/mikrotik/dhcp_lease.py", line 11, in api = connection.get_api() File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api.py", line 51, in get_api self.api.login(self.username, self.password, self.plaintext_login) File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api.py", line 93, in login 'login', {'name': login.encode(), 'response': hashed}) File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\resource.py", line 39, in call additional_queries=additional_queries).get() File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api_communicator\encoding_decorator.py", line 31, in get response = self.inner.get() File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api_communicator\async_decorator.py", line 17, in get self.response = self.receiver.receive(self.tag) File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api_communicator\exception_decorator.py", line 19, in receive self.handle_exception(e) File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api_communicator\exception_decorator.py", line 37, in handle_exception raise exception File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api_communicator\exception_decorator.py", line 17, in receive return self.inner.receive(tag) File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api_communicator\key_cleaner_decorator.py", line 14, in receive answers = self.inner.receive(tag) File "C:\Users\merlyn\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\routeros_api\api_communicator\base.py", line 50, in receive raise response.error_as_exception routeros_api.exceptions.RouterOsApiCommunicationError: ('Error "invalid user name or password (6)" executing command b\'/login =name=admin =response=0058cb2f3757642cab91e77913fe012345 .tag=2\'', b'invalid user name or password (6)')

Please provide more information - we need exact RouterOS version to investigate. Use: /system resource print

@okazdal Please check our Wiki regarding newer ROS versions: https://github.com/socialwifi/RouterOS-api/wiki/How-to-use#login-for-routeros-v643-onwards

If you have upgraded your device's ROS version, please update also this library and use the plaintext_login=True.

Closing for now.

With routeros 6.44.5 it doesn't works ... I've got following error :
