download of wsj failing

[amritsari]

Hi - Installed Calibre. Set up download of wsj subscription. Ran successfully for about 7 days. Today all of a sudden it fails at login. Haven't changed username and password. Verified login via browser and was successful. For some reason calibre is unable to login. Updated Calibre to 0.8.67. Still no success. Same failure. Please help. Running on a MacAir, OsX 10.7.4.

I am experiencing the same problem. I am a subscriber, have not changed my password. Can access online wsj on desktop with existing password, but getting the same error message you are.

Same problem as above. No change to username/password. Has been running flawlessly for months to new iPad 3, previously to Nook. Stopped after this week - last worked on 9/4/2012.

Was at least one version behind - updated this AM, still does not work. Also tried changing password on WSJ.com and then Calibre, still does not work.

New password works on WSJ.com for computer access.

After not working all day yesterday, this morning Calibre was able to download wsj without a hitch. Go figure. Did not change anything.

Sometimes web sites have problems. Glad it's working again.
