New issue 106 by lscotlan...@gmail.com: Invalid User Credentials
https://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=106

I have been using the tool for ages to back up my several websites on a
monthly basis (so it was OK in May). This week, it has stopped working and
gives 'Invalid User Credentials'. I know all about the 'allowing less
secure apps' thing and have that selected, so it is not due to that. Has
anything else changed??

Help please!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Complete host/domain/webspace and user information as normal
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should work as normal, but I only get 'Invalid User Credentials' instead

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.4
Windows 8


Please provide any additional information below.

Hello, I have the exact same issue. I suspect it may not be working because the developers haven't upgraded this tool to work with the latest API's updates from Google? Or is there something we need to modify at the Google Apps domain level? Can the developers of this tool please help with suggestions?

Thank you,

Having the same issue. I did receive the message last week, too, but it
then decided to work. Today, no such luck.

and today (June 11) it has started working again for me. Just what is going
on in the background? Will it randomly stop again tomorrow?

This is wonderful, but why would it start working again, as the program
itself didn't change? Did google do something? Anyone know?

This is a dupe of #105

I don't understand the technical comments in #105 sufficiently to know
whether this is the cause of the problem reported by me in #106 or not.
What I do know is that there is a real problem, and that, as per comment
#6, it has reappeared (i.e. the tool has stopped working again this week,
even though it was working last week).
What I would really like, and I think we all deserve, is a response from
Data Liberation / Google regarding this issue and as to its resolution. The
original post was on June 4th!

Mine doesn't work anymore! not yesterday, not today. Anyone found out what

I'm also having a problem concerning the authentication process.

Is anyone trying to fix the problem? There's an option for public websites
to use "https://www.httrack.com/". But for sites with privacy politics, no
alternative so far.

Google uses OAuth2 instead of user account/password.

I only fixed the GUI interface.
