Can't authenticate with valid credentials

[yissachar]

Trying to download competition files gives me authentication errors:

$ kg download -u <my-username> -p <my-password> -c <competition>
Starting new HTTPS connection (1): www.kaggle.com
The username or password provided is incorrect.
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

I'm using the same user and password that lets me login via the browser with no problems.

What's the version?

[yissachar]

0.12.13

-u <email> worked.

[yissachar]

Using email doesn't help - I get the same error.

@yissachar Any special character in your password?

[yissachar]

Password begins with a $. Would that somehow cause any issues?

[yissachar]

Changing password to something that doesn't contain $ works. Seems $ causes the bug whether it is at the start of password or anywhere in middle.

I ran into this as well (because of a '>' in my password I think). Simply quoting my password fixed it for me.

Quoting didn't work for me but escaping dollar signs did. E.g. -p mypa\$word
