Failing to authenticate

[dewmguy]

typing my working username and password into the script and it just says

We failed to authenticate towards plex.tv

The error message indicates three possibilities.

1. You misspelled/mistyped your username/password
2. You have a poor internet connection to plex.tv
3. Your server and/or machine IP address are NOT compliant with RFC1918

If you recently changed your password at Plex, then make sure you enter the updated password.

Well....Could also be:

If using extended characters in your password, the release version doesn't url encode them :(
If so, use this branch: https://github.com/ukdtom/ClaimIt/tree/passencode-fix/linux

If using 2FA authentication, then when asked for a password, and you pwd is "MyPwd" and your 2FA code is: "11223344" then enter: "MyPwd11223344"

I really appreciate you mentioning the MFA method here, I couldn't find it in the documentation and it's what did the trick for me. Thank you so much!!!!
