Also it is better that you use your username instead of email address in the 'login' field. The username can be found in your account at https://www.dynu.com/ControlPanel/MyAccount.GrahamLeach wrote:No matter what I do, I am getting this error in /var/log/syslogupdating bogomips.webdirect.org: badauth: Bad authorization (username or password)Here's my /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf file:# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------## @file# ddclient configuration file## @filename# /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf## @author# Graham Leach (GL)## @created# 2022-11-04## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------# Execute every n seconds# ddclient wants at least a 5 minute delay (300) between attemptsdaemon=360# Log messages to /var/log/syslog?syslog=yes# User account to mail messages to:mail=root# User account to mail failed update messages to:mail-failure=root# Which file to record the ddclient Process ID (PID) in:pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid# Which server to get the IP address from:use=web, web=checkip.dynu.com, web-skip='Current IP Address: '# Which server to send IP address updates to:server=api.dynu.com# Which protocol to use (dyndns1, dyndns2*):protocol=dyndns2# Login username or email:login={email_address}# Login password (cleartext / MD5 / SHA256 hash):password={MD5_hash}# List of FQDN to register IP address updates against# 1 per line)bogomips.webdirect.org#x.y.z

It would be great if the error message could be ==> BAD DOMAINand not ==> BAD USERNAME/PASSWORDThat might really help people focus on where the typo(s) may be. I say this because I spent quite a bit of time messing around with Username/Password combinations when a more descriptive/accurate error message would have helped a lot in terms of focusing my attention where it needed to be, and I notice that I am not the only person who did this.Please consider fixing your error messaging
