Login no longer works

The Failed to get skypetoken error now throws all the time.
I believe this is because the SKYPEWEB_LOGIN_URL is now incorrect; MS have started to redirect to login.live.com, but I may be wrong about that.
Yup, that's why. I've tried to fix it myself, but I don't have enough experience in this area.
Same here. It started on 2016-10-13, between 5pm and 9pm UTC.
The issue is that you need to use login.live.com, not login.skype.com if you're using a live account (so basically if your username is an email). So if you type an email into the username on login.skype.com, it redirects you to login.live.com, and hence you get the error.
EDIT:
And again, just to clarify, you have to use live accounts now. Unless you made your account a long time ago and didn't migrate.
I changed the URL to https://login.skype.com/login?client_id=578134&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.skype.com%2F and allowed redirect in the call to request.post. Now I am getting this: Something went wrong!Failed to get skypetoken. Username or password is incorrect OR you've hit a CAPTCHA wall.
Yeah, it uses different parameters for the authentication. I got close to cracking it, but was never successful.
The issue is not just with newer "Live" accounts. It appears that MS are migrating old accounts to also use the live.com login. So even if this doesn't affect an account you are using now, it will soon.
Hi everybody, I've started to implement #43. Hope to add support for this by Wednesday. Probably will fix this one in the process.
@ShyykoSerhiy Great to hear 👍

Should work in 0.1.1
