[lynda:course] playlist xyz: Collected 43 video ids (downloading 43 of them)
[download] Downloading video #1 of 43
[lynda] Logging in as xyz

ERROR: Unable to log in; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output. Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update.

I've tried it with:

youtube-dl url --username NAME_OF_PREMIUM_ACCOUNT --password PASSWORD

Could you run it with --verbose --write-pages and attach None_https_-_www.lynda.com_login_login.aspx.dump file that will be created in current directory?
