   Either your account doesn't meet the requirements noted in #65 (comment), or your account is locked pending click-through of an interstitial page. In any case, the new login flow isn't released yet so keep discussion in #65 as originally requested.

   From #65:

   That's all the info we get from upstream, so it's hard to say. 🙁 Sounds like it's probably worth reopening and tracking on #141 if there are more limitations than we know of so far. I have one remaining test account with no MS link which produces that error, and two linked accounts which both login fine, so I can't repro it here.

   I am getting "Profile accrual is required" with my linked account. If I enable two-factor authentication and set up an app password, login attempt with the original password gives "wsse:FailedAuthentication - Authentication Failure", and with the app password it's again giving the "Profile accrual is required" error.

   Is there any more information I could give that would be useful here?

   If this is an an ex-Skype account with an old username, have you tried using both the Skype username and the associated Microsoft account email address / phone number as the login username?

   There are similar account issues being reported near the end of EionRobb/skype4pidgin#656, with a few potential solutions.

   Yes it's an original Skype account. Trying with the associated e-mail address made no difference, still "Profile accrual is required".

   Well! This suggestion worked for me - enabling Outlook for my account. That resulted in the e-mail address becoming the primary alias for the account, and skpy login now works, both with skypename and e-mail.

   So apparently the new requirement is that the primary alias needs to be an e-mail, with skypename becoming deprecated.

    @Terrance
    I get an error message:

    skpy.core.SkypeAuthException: ('wsse:FailedAuthentication - Authentication Failure', <Response [200]>)

    But the message is being sent to the chat.
    Code:

    sk = Skype('email', 'password') # connect to Skype
    ch = sk.chats.chat('chat_id")
    ch.sendMsg("Some message")
    

    Using online version of Skype. At the same time, the desktop version is installed on ubuntu 19.10.

    You can't do anything until you're authenticated with a registration token, so I don't know what that means.

    Set email as the main login alias.

    Sorry, there was an error in the code - an attempt was made to log in twice with different passwords.
