I had this running without any issues up until around a month ago when my harddrive crashed and I had to recreate the config file. No matter what I try, it ends in the error above and won't accept my cloud password. Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug?
that is a very basic function of rclone, should have nothing to do with jottacloud or any other remote.
so i would double check that. maybe a copy/paste mistake.
I can try to see if it works if I reset it, but before I do that I just want to know for sure: Assuming my password to the cloud account is abc123, is this the password I put in rclone.conf:
there is no password option in jottacloud config. I think you manually inserted it - it is not needed.
It is also mentioned during configuration process.
Option config_password.
Password (only used in setup, will not be stored)
Choose an alternative below. Press Enter for the default (n).
y) Yes, type in my own password

Enter the password:
What you have to do for legacy setup is choose config_type 2, provide email and password (your actual password not obfuscated one).

Do you want to create a machine specific API key?
Rclone has it's own Jottacloud API KEY which works fine as long as one
only uses rclone on a single machine. When you want to use rclone with
this account on more than one machine it's recommended to create a
machine specific API key. These keys can NOT be shared between
machines.
y) Yes
n) No (default)
