dwinden on "[Plugin: iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security)] Error getting an API key?"

There is some relevant background info in this topic.

Did some additional digging in the code and noticed that this is a 2 step process.

First an API key is requested.
If the API key request is successfull a request to activate the obtained API key is done.
It turns out that no matter which request fails, the same error message is displayed...

Would be nice to get a more specific error message indicating which request failed ...

Anyway "keep trying till it works" seems to be the best strategy.
