Yowsup: "Not-authorized" error on login

[jlguardi]

Since this morning, all my numbers report an error during Login. No change in credentials or code was performed.

I attach the log detail. This log was gotten with yowsup-cli of master branch download some minutes ago:

DEBUG:yowsup.layers.logger.layer:tx:

<failure>

</not-authorized>
</failure>

general: Login Failed, reason: not-authorized
DEBUG:yowsup.layers.network.layer:Disconnected, reason: Authentication Failure
Auth Error, reason not-authorized

Has someone any solution or suggestion?

It looks like your numbers are blocked. Use existsrequest.py to see the reason why you cannot login.

[jlguardi]

No, the number is not blocked. I've tried in an official whatsapp and works.

While the register with yowsup I get:

 status:' ok '
kind:' free '
pw:' xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx= '
price:' 0,89 $'\342\202\254' '
price_expiration:' 142746xxxx '
currency:' EUR '
cost:' 0.89 '
expiration:' 144148xxxx '
login:' 34xxxxxxx '
type:' existing '

EDIT:
So now I am getting the same problems. But only when I am using SendClient while the yowsup-cli demo is not affected. I guess WA rolled out an intern update. Maybe they block auth tries when they are not in line with 'special conditions'.

[jroman]

SOLVED: by re-registering and changing the password in the config file with the one received as a response to the second step of registration.

Still with the same problem here using the yowsup-cli demo.

Anything related to the options in the config file?

Cheers.

[blackjack4494]

Here is a little Update from what I noticed.
SendClient is working again (without doing anything - that confirmed my theory)
But right now I am having two sample_apps. One of them is working correctly the second one is still getting auth errors. I guess I messed something up in the code though it worked before.

[ghost]

@jlguardi Did you manage to register your number again? And is it visible to other users in the official WhatsApp client?

[jlguardi]

I've got 2 numbers with this issue. Both were working until I've restarted my applications. So WA didn't close the connection.
After this restart, both return 'not-authorized'. One of them keeps in this status.
However, the other is working after a reregistration with yowsup and no more errors have been detected.
Both are visible from official WA.
@blackjack4494 I get this error with my app and also with yowsup-cli, echo-client or send-client

[ghost]

@jlguardi How long ago did you register these two numbers?

[jlguardi]

No working one on april'14. The other one on sept'14.

[blackjack4494]

It actually does not matter when you registered your numbers as long as you pay after the first free year.

@jlguardi hmm. Did you restart your server/sytem where it is running on? I can try to give you a little sample app where you have to edit just the number and password. I can post it later (in like 6hours?)
What happens when you use
:yowsup-cli demos -c config -y
:/L
??

[jlguardi]

No, my server is workin for 5 months without restart.
All reports are get with "yowsup-cli demos -y".

I'll try your app. Thx

[rodrigofaillace]

I had some SIM Cards blocked today... All of them were using the same App. Some (3 of 10) got banned....

I was not sending SPAM. I´ve used in a Passive way (providing automated answers, when asked), like a FAQ.

Tried re-register, but failed.

Tried with Whatsapp Official Client, but it is said that the number is unauthorized to use Whatsapp.

Any of you with the same problem?

[ssafronov]

I've got the same problem in centos. When I try to login i get next:

[pcandrews]

@jlguardi did you solved the problem? I'm having the same issue.

[jlguardi]

@pcandrews In fact I needed to reregister 3 lines of 10. These lines are the older ones registered between april'14 and Aug'14. No more incidentes by the moment.

[jlguardi]

@ssafronov it seems not to ne the same. Your issue seems a communication problem not an authorization one.

[khru]

I have the same issue

[luckydonald]

Re-registration did not solve the issue for me,
While the cli-demo does work (yowsup-cli demos -y -l NUMBER:PASSWORDHASH=),
my run.py program does not (following the sample app tutorial).
Did I missed some other solution than registrating them again?
Is there a Layer which I missed?

.

For refence, my stacktrace, which is long and ugly, sorry:

[luckydonald]

Well, as always, updating to the newest source code version can fix stuff.
See #754 and fix 6345f77.
The old password might still work.

[rodneyra]

I´m having the same problem as rodrigofaillace. I have a number that was blocked by WhatsApp.

Error message: "Authentication Error: not-authorized"

yowsup2 upgrade does not solve the problem.

Any solution?

[luckydonald]

did you also ran the setup again?

[rodneyra]

Yes. It was working and has stopped with this error message. I´ve already
tried the yowsup2 upgrade without success.

Thanks.

I had the same problem and received this message:

Auth Error, reason not-authorized

[nheijmans]

Getting the same issue. When running the demos cli I can send/receive messages but with a run.py or layer.py the error is yowsup.layers.auth.autherror.AuthError: not-authorized. Running latest version of yowsup

anybody can help me with this?
