Username-Password-Authentication is intermittently failing

I have an app which is using Username-Password-Authentication. The login was previously working but has been failing off & on over the past few days.

Here is my fetch function:

	return await fetch_response_pair_(`https://${AUTH0_DOMAIN_(ctx)}/oauth/token`, {
		method: 'POST',
		headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
		body: JSON.stringify(body)
	})

Where the body is:

{
    username: 'USERNAME',
    password: 'PASSWORD',
    client_id: 'CLIENT_ID,
    client_secret: 'CLIENT_SECRET,
    grant_type: 'password',
    audience: 'https://mi-www.us.auth0.com/api/v2/',
    scope: 'openid profile email',
    connection: 'Username-Password-Authentication',
    realm: 'Username-Password-Authentication'
  }

The response log is:

POST /auth|payload|error {
  status: 403,
  payload: {
    error: 'invalid_grant',
    error_description: 'Wrong email or password.'
  }
}

Hi @brian.takita,

Welcome back to the Auth0 Community!

Apologies for the delay. Are you still seeing this issue?

That error typically indicates a bad username/password. Let me know if you have any more info.

It seems like it’s working consistently now. Thank you.
