Invalid credentials? NEED SINGLE QUOTES on password!

[wkearney99]

I've updated the ps1 file to use the correct current username (email) and password, and changed the saving location.

Trying to use this today and it failed with error:
Invoke-RestMethod : {"message":"Invalid credentials","lockout_time_remaining":0,"force_password_reset":false,"allow_pin_resend_seconds":90,"code":200}

At E:\Video\blink\Updated031921-BlinkVideoDownloader .ps1:62 char:13
+ $response = Invoke-RestMethod -UseBasicParsing $uri -Method Post -Hea ...
+             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There isn't anything in the code that would prevent using a password with a $ character, is there? For example:
$password = "a6$NTgf5"
I understand that powershell can be tricky about strings sometimes, but this looks pretty harmless.

WAIT, FIXED IT!

Use single quotes around the string.
$password = 'a6$NTgf5'

Did that and now it's downloading.

(and no, this is not the actual password for the account)

Glad you got it working ! Are your thumbnail images downloading ? I'm still not getting mine - #19

I tried the single quotes and it doesn't work for me either. Still getting Invalid Credentials.
Just trying to download all Blink Mini videos for past two months.
Using PC running Win10 Pro Version 22H2 (OS build 19045.4412
I also have $ in my password but Blink requires a special Character so that shouldn't be an issue.

Also tried on WIN11 Pro Dell laptop, won't even run to credentials needed.
