Using ArcGIS API for Python and Windows Authentication?

Question

I've been trying to follow the ESRI recommended workflow to log on to Enterprise (using authentication), but it just doesn't want to work. I'm able to get the account credentials registered in Windows Credential Manager, but if I try to run the program and access them via the API for Python, I keep receiving this error:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

Maybe check the details in this bug

This bug is affecting me. and there doesn't seem to be a work around. its possibly related to the Python version, thats my next step is to downgrade.

FYI im using ArcGIS API 1.4.1 and Python 3.8
