    Bumping this as well. I had one almost successful login where I was prompted to enter a code from a trusted Apple device, which I did, but still failed to authenticate.
    

    These are the two common failures I am seeing.
    

    Immediate sign in failure:
    

    10:28AM ERR error="apple returned no usable authentication response (HTTP 301): missing account credentials or unexpected status; try again later or from another network" success=false

    

    Sign in failure after attempts:
    

    10:29AM ERR error="sign-in request failed: authentication request failed after 3 attempts (HTTP 204, 204, 404): apple returned no usable authentication response; try again later or from another network: unexpected response from Apple (HTTP 404): empty or non-plist authentication response (body length=146, content type=\"text/html\", correlation ID=\"\")" success=false

    I did attempt reverting to tag v2.6.0 and I got the 2FA prompt, but still failed to authenticate successfully.

    Randomly reverting to v2.2.0 fixed it. I'll see if I can narrow down the tag that causes the failure.

    And it failed again after I revoked my credentials. Maybe this is an Apple problem...

    Ok, after some trial and error, reverting to tag v2.5.0 and spamming the ./ipatools auth login seemed to work. Not sure if there is a timeout issue within the code or my network is having connectivity issues, but after ~4-5 attempts I'll get a successful authentication.

    This ipatool works well: https://github.com/Sorvigolova/ipatool It is on C++ and has a lot of changes. But works well everywhere (Windows, macOS, Linux). You can use it as temporary solution.
    

    

    I get an error after entering the two-factor authentication code in Sorvigolova/ipatool
    

    Login error: something went wrong
    

    

    Try to check your credentials and log in on icloud.com with your login and password.
    
Me and lots of people have no issues at all with ipatool from Sorvigolova.

    This log is from original ipatool (by majd), not from ipatool-cpp (by Sorvigolova).

    Can you try with latest commits merged onto main branch and see if you still get any of those errors?
    

    

    @majd It seems that adding '/' at the end of the path MZFinance.woa/wa/authenticate can fix the login issue.

    You need to clone the repository and build it yourself
