I began using this service for a class project and it works and I know where everything is. I'm not sure what else I could ask for.

Five Stars, but I am here wondering why one script of many, all of of which use the exact same info to log in, all of the sudden denies access to the user, the same user that it is allowing access for in a couple of other scripts that are not failing, at the same time (within seconds or less)
Hey Doug,
That is interesting. Next time that happens reach out to us! We'd be happy to help!
