Xfinity bot detection about debbit HOT 7 CLOSED

It works for me! Thanks for the good work :)

Ah you're right, I was able to confirm on my machine as well. I found a workaround so I'll try to get a release out tonight that fixes it. Definitely by this weekend if I can't get tonight.

Yes, technically, debbit could point to the Firefox profile you already use. But even if you're already logged in, at some point in the future Xfinity is going to ask for your username/password again. To make your existing profile work you'd have to download a custom add-on beforehand. This add-on is shipped with Debbit and doesn't even exist in the Firefox add-ons site yet. This particular issue is solved by just changing the user agent.

@ericmei Are you running from source or one of the downloads from the release tab? Mac, windows, or linux? I'd like to send you a test version and have you verify that it fixes the problem.

Downloaded the windows release.

Sure send it when you get a chance

I put together a fix. It works for my account on both my laptop and a server on a different network.

debbit_2.0.1_xfinity_patch.zip

Try downloading this zip which contains debbit.exe and xfinity_bill_pay.py. On your computer, stop debbit if it is running. Replace debbit.exe with the one from this patch, and replace program_files\merchants\xfinity_bill_pay.py with the one from this patch.

Also, if Xfinity made you change your password due to the bot detection, make sure you have your latest password in the config file! If this patch works for you I'll release it as debbit v2.0.1.
