ELEX Stamps.com Plugin – Authentication Failed Error
Customer:
I am using the stamps.com plugin with WooCommerce in WordPress. It is installed correctly, but when I go to calculate shipping I get the following error:
Stamps.com – Unable to Get Auth: Authentication failed.
I am pretty sure I have the correct UN and PW because I can use it actually to get into my stamps.com acct.
Please help.
Support:
If the authentication information like UserID or Password is not correct, you get this Auth: Authentication failed error.
We request you to check the UserID and Password once again. For more information on troubleshooting, please refer the Stamps.com troubleshooting article.

I am facing the same problem. i.e. my Stamps.com user name and password do not work in the plugin. I am sure that they are correct.

Hi I have the same problem and I am putting the correct credentials I try to create a support ticket but it does not leave me your page I need urgent help please.
Authentication error appears because of two reasons:
1) If the username and password entered for Stamps are invalid.2) Or if you are using the stamps credentials in the wrong API mode.
