For some reason, I have trouble logging in to MAL from my MAL updater client. When I hit refresh, MAL updater shows "invalid ID or password" ( I was able to login yesterday). I even changed my account id and password to see if it would let me access my mal account, but still no luck.
I double checked if my caps key was on, checked if i typed my information correctly, did everything i could have done(even used my proxy server!)

Please help me to fix this error!

PS. Taiga works, but don't want to change my favorite mal client!

It's because they turned on DDOS/BOT protection, so each "browser" has to go through a captcha, which MALU can't do. Unless an update is pushed we'll have to wait until it's either unblocked or allowed.

Crave contacted me a while ago to agree on a special http agent string for Mal Updater to use to avoid the captcha, but it seems it's no longer in effect right now.

Do you think you can keep us posted when this issue has been fixed?
I've been relying on MAL client for so long to download all my shows, I don't think I can go back to my "manual RSS" days ;_;

@sharif9991 and anyone else claiming to have a problem with logging in with MAL updater:
it's not a problem on your client's side, but an issue on the server's side. There's nothing to do except for waiting for a possible new "special http agent string for Mal Updater to use" or some other update.
