Login fails with "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker"

[tquiggle]

I am working on an application to poll my Franklin Whole Home solar system every 5 minutes and set my ChargePoint charging current to match the surplus Solar generation, or disable charging if there is no surplus solar.

A few weeks ago, login and management of the ChargePoint via this API was working beautifully. When I revisited the project today, I consistently get a login error:

It looks like ChargePoint added a javascript challenge to detect headless access to the API :-(
