[Developers] Logging into freebase using API and long username/password

Hi Everyone,

I'm approaching the production stage of my web app and I recently 
changed from my own user/password, to a permanent user/pass for this 
project.

I'm not sure why, but it stopped logging in when I changed the 
user/pass. The exact error returned is "Invalid username or password".

I'm fairly sure that the code works, because it doesn't present any 
problem with my original username and password. Also, a 'curl -d 
'username=***' -d 'password=***' 
http://www.freebase.com/api/account/login' doesn't work with the new 
login credentials.

The only differences I can think of are that the account was created 
fairly recently (thursday) and that the username and password are 
significantly longer this time.

Thanks in advance for any replies,
Matt
