Context

password and 2fa verified as correct
unsure of what version of icloudpd I ran when successful in Nov 2023

Errors suggest that Apple closes connection and no reasons are given. Are you still having the issue or it resolved by itself?

[latonita]

I'm having the same error when doing re-auth however this doesn't affect updating cookie and loading photos

[AndreyNikiforov]

fixed 1.18.0

[fearaschiarrai]

actually I tried again a few days later and used \ instead of / in the path name .. and it worked :) not certain if this was the reason.
