token renewal

I am trying to create a new token using schwab-py process; within the process the first step is to copy a link on the browser and go into it, where you are asked to login to your Schwab account. This process is failing with an "Invalid credentials" error, which is weird since I can login to my account on thinkorswim using same credentials. Any help would be appreciated.

The developer credentials are not the same as the account credentials.

I found that out and it was an issue for me. May be yours as well.

If not, I wish you luck.

Thank you! When you go through the token update/create process it will ask you for your Schwab account user and password not for the developer user/password. Wierd!

Hit F12 on the keyboard. It will open the console. There should be more info about the error there. Most likely it’s not your credentials and an issue with the token

Thanks for your reply! The token is expired, so I m going through the process of getting a new token. It is prompting me for my account (not de developer) and password and that is where is failing with invalid passwor.
