Local Zotero will not sync "invalid username/password"

My Zotero will not sync and it says the reason is "invalid username/password." I know the username and password are both correct because I can easily login online. I saw some other forum posts that were similar, but I'm not sure if my issue is the same or not.

I copied the Debug report below.

  • You likely just tried too many times with the wrong password and were temporarily blocked. Try again now or reset your password.

    My IT department ended up solving it for me. It may have been a case of a trailing space after my password when I cut and pasted it. :( Thanks for your help!
