chatexchange.browser.LoginError: failed to get acct cookie from Stack Exchange OpenID, check credentials provided for accuracy

[TvoozMagnificent]

I ran the command

make

As said. However, it threw an error:

chatexchange.browser.LoginError: failed to get `acct` cookie from Stack Exchange OpenID, check credentials provided for accuracy

Full Python Message:

As you can see I manipulated the makefile to use python3.9.

client.log logfile:

SNIP,893: INFO: MainThread: Logging in.

This usually means that you had the wrong email address and/or password. Occasionally there is also a CAPTCHA involved; if you are certain that you have the right user name and password, try logging in manually with those and jump through the necessary hoops to prove that you are a human. (IIRC the error message in that case is slightly different.)

@tripleee's comment helps me, thank you!
