I was using the Flickr publishing service successfully with several version of Lightroom CC Classic. Recently I moved Lightroom and all the photos to a new Windows 10 PC. Everything went well (thanks to Victoria's instructions) except that I can no longer use the Flickr publishing services that I had set up.
Now, when I try to add photos to an existing collection in a Flickr publishing service, I get the error message:

"An internal error has occurred. There is something wrong in CryptUnprotectData."

I tried revoking LR's permissions on the Flickr site. I also tried creating new Flickr publishing services with the Publishing Manager. Everything brings me back to the same error message.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem and, preferably, solution, might be?
Thanks
John

I thought I read somewhere that Flickr login had changed from the old tie in to Yahoo to a standalone one. Related to the purchase by Smugmug, I suppose. I wonder if that changed the way the publish plugin authenticates. Or even broke it. I'd check with support for Flickr. Smugmug support is done on SmugMug / Digital Grin Photography Forum and maybe you could ask there too.
