Failing to obtain tokens and to create config.ini

[ThePlanZ]

I used to use the tool often, but it disappeared, so i redownloaded it. I decided to remove the config.ini from my old version and all associated files, then downloaded the latest version with pip 3. However, when i try to login, i get:

Download quality (5, 6, 7, 27) [320, LOSSLESS, 24B <96KHZ, 24B >96KHZ]
(leave empty for default '6')

Getting tokens. Please wait...

I am using correct credentials, ive checked.
Also, checking the AppData/Roaming/qobuz-dl where the old version created its config.ini, theres nothing. you mightve changed it, so if you have, it probably means nothing. But, if its supposed to create a config.ini, its not, which might be the problem. Of course, i could be way off, im no developer, so take it with a healthy pinch of salt

Can you try putting the config file in the folder manually?

I’m also having the same issue; even when I enter the credentials correctly, it doesn’t let me get past the login screen.

i did that, but i got an error, i forgot which one. once i saw your comment, and i rolled back to a previous config.ini i had, and that did the job, but i fear almost nobody has these obscure files backed up.
If anybody is wondering, this is my config.ini, which should be located in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\qobuz-dl
for my redacted parts (my personal information), you might be able to login to QBDLX and rip the details from there. i recently downloaded QBDLX, and if i can bulk download playlists, i might perma switch to it

I’ve just realized that the error is being caused by the Python version. I had version 3.14 installed, and once I uninstalled it and installed version 3.13.11, it works perfectly.

:o will try! (my solution had fixed nothing, lol)

Same here. I have recently changed my qobuz password, now trying to re-authenticate qobuz-dl and I have Failed to match APP ID message. No ini file was created:

qobuz-dl -r

I am having the same problem.
Tried to downgrade the python version but the error remains there...
