Getting 200 ok response but username and password fields are empty its again redirecting to login page

Getting 200 ok response but username and password fields are empty its again redirecting to login page can you help me on this?

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

header = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0   (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)  AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like  Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36   Edg/118.0.2088.61'
}

Payload = {
    "utf8": "✓",
    "spree_user[email]":     "yavixe4893@tutoreve.com",
    "spree_user[password]":   "Qwerty@123",
    "spree_user[remember_me]": "0",
    "commit": "Login",
}

with requests.Session() as ses:
    Url = "https://mightynest.com"
    Req = ses.get(Url)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(Req.content,   'html5lib')
    print(Req.content)
    Payload['authenticity_token'] = soup.find('meta', {'name': 'csrf-token'})['content']
    res = ses.post('http://mightynest.com/login', data=Payload, headers=header)
    print(res.content)

Note: Username/password are correct but still facing same issue.

Disclaimer: Just guessing here, I haven't taken this class.

Make sure that you're extracting the CSRF token correctly. The website's HTML structure might have changed, or there may be multiple CSRF tokens. You're currently looking for a meta tag with the name csrf-token shouldn't you be looking for authenticity_token? Is tthis still valid for the website?

The URL you're posting to is using http instead of https, and it's possible that the endpoint has changed or requires a secure connection. Double-check the form's action URL on the login page to ensure it's correct.
