This is just a continuation of (here).

Waiting for the SF developer to fix it could cause you to age a few years.

If by any chance you can get access to a VPN, there are 100's, many even give free or low-cost trial, and some charge one month at a time.

I was able to get Netflix to log in using a VPN, as I have access to some at one time or another.

Open SF to the Netflix login page, then open VPN and log into a location preferably closest to you. I used the best location, and it did not work, I then chose Miami, not the closest to me but once logged in I was able to log into Netflix. You may or may not have to try a few different locations. Once Netflix gets logged in, refresh the screen in SF with F5, or there is a little refresh icon in SF. Then disconnect the VPN so as not to cause download issues, as some VPNs can do when downloading from stream providers.

This was a fix posted a few times before in the past when Netflix acts up. Sometime in the next 5 to 10 updates, you may see a fix for login issues for Netflix. This is NOT only affecting SF but other downloaders/recorders, but not all. In short, Netflix sucks and seems to possibly ban or block an IP or computer, from logging in, in some way that a VPN changes it enough to again let you log in.
Netflix will after a set amount of time anywhere from 12 hours up to 48 hours or even possibly longer and the more attempts to log in can extend that time as I tried for days 2 to 4 times a day until I did the VPN trick.
It's a trick from the past and hopefully will work for any future times Netflix gets in the mood. Somehow, they also determine it's NOT a REAL Chrome, Firefox, or Edge browser when using these programs such as SF because I have yet to hear of anyone having an issue logging in with them directly and Netflix knows they will get 100's of support requests if it did start to effect real browsers. Netflix knows very few will contact them and say hey, I can't log in via SF. haha.

I tried using a VPN.
I am based in Sydney, Australia.
The only 2 VPN servers are Melbourne and Sydney.
I tried both using ExpressVPN and retried to login to Netflix using StreamFab with no luck.
Logging in through normal FireFox web browser works OK.
Looking through the logged in devices in my account settings shows that StreamFab is trying to log in.
So the problem is with StreamFab.
I reverted back to previous version 6.2.0.6 and 6.2.0.5 with the same results as reported. Can't log in.
Bummer...

It was worth a try, there was never a 100% fix. It does work for many and did in the past when Netflix went and goes through its fits.
Might also need to wait a day or 2 and try again. As I said, you will age a few years waiting for SF to fix it.
And again it's not just SF some of the other stream downloaders/recorders are having issues logging in to Netflix, I made one other aware of it and that it's starting to become widespread.

And you will almost never see an issue using a legitimate browser whether it's Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, the list can go on.

People will try removing cookies and everything else, the only thing for me was the VPN trick that gave best results. Location can be a contributing factor, as I live in the US and have a choice of numerous US VPN servers to try. Some even trying https://netflix.com/clearcookies

Some just finally give up on Netflix as they seem to be the most troublesome with this, unless it's a Netflix made movie another stream provider will shortly have the same movie.
Check YouTube, that even sometimes surprises me in the movies available. Just for now, make sure it's not DRM on YouTube, as SF can't handle them at this time.
Although at the same time I do see you say you are in Australia, might be some of the other places I have available to get movies/shows via US are not available there to download.

I seemed to have (although temporarily) fixed the problem.

When you logon to Netflix and get the "unable to logon" or "incorrect password" error message...
1) Do not exit Streamfab.
2) Change the DNS settings in your network adapter to another provider.
The list is available from here ... https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-pu...ervers-2626062
3) Log back into Netflix.

This solution seems to work for me.
Please let me know if there are any similar results?

Thank you...

The problem I previously mentioned was not a fix after all.
After I logged into Netflix, it would not analyze any of the videos.
Even clicking the "+" gadget on the bottom to manually analyze stuck in a loop (seemingly) forever.

Screams ... AAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!

are you able to log in to netflix via your normal browser ??
if yes, then try removing all devices connected to your netflix account
and retry signing into netflix in streamfab.

Thanks for the advice.
I can log in to Netflix using FireFox, Edge and Chrome browsers.
I removed all the devices in my netflix account.
I cleared out the cache & cookies as per the guide.
This made no difference.

Thank you.
