[ghost]

here is my debug content:

My config looks like this: cc=49 #if not specified it will be autodetected phone=49**************** id= password=OUZnHgwJTip+RVxam2DPMHt5plE= the "=" at the end could be a problem, though

Most (if not all?) passwords end with a =

[CODeRUS]

are you sure you have right password?

[ghost]

Yes, But I registred via WART. The password was directly copy/pasted

[tgalal]

@Atsch auth could fail if WART's user agent doesn't match resource used at login with yowsup. I've seen this happen before. Anyway, yowsup registration works again, can you give it a try and see if login works ?

[ghost]

oh, Ill try it thanks

Hello, why when authentication failed! python doesn't return to the command prompt ? I am trying to use yowsup in my monitoring system where in case of any alerts to send the a broadcast to several IT support guys, however yesterday i got the sending number blocked and the monitoring system kept launching the yowsup-cli script and ended up with lots of open processes and that caused memory low on the system.

is there anyway to let yowsup return to the command and end the process if auth failed! was received ?

Hi, I'm having the same issue. I requested the code via CODeRUS as it didn't want to send me a message with a normal call. When trying to register I realized that I missed a digit in my phone number. I fixed that and finished the registration via yowsup.

I also checked that the account was successfully created with the -e option and it is. The IMEI is taken from a phone I own.

$ cat .config/yowsup/config

cc=49
phone=00157885XXXXX
id=3568170258XXXXX
password=A40b8QG3Z4x5Ev5/DyKwVSXXXXX=

$ yowsup-cli -c .config/yowsup/config -d -k -l

I tried this several times including a couple different options like trying to message someone and also reset the password a few times (-e) but it always shows the same error.

your zeroes at the phone beginnings seems wrong

[Nothing4You]

According to https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup/wiki/yowsup-cli#wiki-config the number should be this way:

phone=00123456789  #replace with your phone number with two extra leading 00 (zeros). Your number is supposed to be 123456789 really

Also, I got this working with whatsapp-purple with login and communicating. As the registration succeeded I believe that the format is correct in the config.

[CODeRUS]

you developer or not? you cant understand simple error and read debug logs? why you need to use yowsup?

[Nothing4You]

I'm sorry to have tried to report an issue, I won't do it again.
