Login Errors - has the keep API changed? #47

Closed nmeyne closed 2 years ago

nmeyne commented 2 years ago

On Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS I have python3 and pip 22.3 and kim seemingly installed OK, but I can't get a successful keep-test to run: Technical Error Message: LoginException('BadAuthentication', None) I have tried logging in to keep in both chrome and firefox browsers, but I'm still getting the authentication error. Does this method support 2FA on the Google account? Wondering if there have been any other changes? Sorry if I have missed something - kim looks great.

I am using KIM online @ replit.com ... so none of the following may be relevant to you ...

1st login issue I had was solved by following the instructions ...

If you believe you typed in your Google account name and password correctly and it failed, copy and paste or click on this URL (https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha) into your browswer address bar and approve the request by pressing the 'Continue' button.

2nd login issue was solved by ...

pip3 install --upgrade keyrings.alt

... that I described here How I solved my keyring sign-in issue #37

... then everything worked fine for ever and ever less a day ...

3rd login issue when I started using 2 Step verification on my phone ...

Solved by using Sign in with App Passwords

Thank you @ichmoimeyo for the helpful response. Also, @nmeyne you must use Python 3.8+. There were some changes in the libraries that broke 3.7.

nmeyne commented 2 years ago

Many thanks @ichmoimeyo and @djsudduth. Yes I have tried all 3 methods above, but I'm still getting the same error. What app name should be used for sign in with app passwords? (On python 3.10)

djsudduth commented 2 years ago

You can use any name you want - it is just a identifiable name for you. Be sure to get your app pw, log out of any and all Google accounts and use that first 2FA app password with KIM. If you use it with the KIM test app you'll need another app pw. @nmeyne

@djsudduth yes all that done multiple times now in keep-test and KIM, but I am still getting the 'BadAuthentication' for keep-test auth and for KIM Username or password is incorrect (LoginException('BadAuthentication')) Could not excute KIM. Must be something else or local. Might try replit as @ichmoimeyo had success there.

ichmoimeyo commented 2 years ago

@nmeyne I made myself a myNotes.txt cheat-sheet in replit to go through as well as copy commands from to paste into the console. At the time I created the apppassword due to 2 Step verification I copied it so that I could easily reuse it whenever needed.

Here is my cheat-sheet - hopefully not too confusing ...

/////////////////////////////////////////

pip install -r requirements.txt

pip3 install --upgrade keyrings.alt ---OR--- pip install --upgrade keyrings.alt

python keep-test.py

Enter your Google account username: XYXYXY

Enter your Google Password: apppassword NOT actual google acct password

Test worked!! You've succesfully logged into Google Keep! Please try running Keep-it-Markdown or KIM!

python kim.py

Welcome to Keep it Markdown or KIM!

FIRST TIME ///////

Enter your Google account username: XYXYXY

Enter your Google Password: apppassword

One moment...

Please set a password for your new keyring:

Please confirm the password:

You've succesfully logged into Google Keep! Your Keep access token has been securely stored in this computer's keyring.

Enter a keyword search, label search or '--all' to convert Keep notes to md or '--x' to exit:

end FIRST TIME ///////

SECOND TIME ///

Enter your Google account username: XYXYXY

Please enter password for encrypted keyring: 1234

You've succesfully logged into Google Keep using local keyring access token!

Enter a keyword search, label search or '--all' to convert Keep notes to md or '--x' to exit:

end SECOND TIME ///

Success on replit! Huge thanks @ichmoimeyo for the excellent cheat sheet. [Only issue encountered was with pip3 - installed the keyrings with pip instead]. The issues I had must have been local - I will clear them out and try again, Meantime replit seems ideal as a cloud service for this. Great suggestion.

ichmoimeyo commented 2 years ago

@nmeyne Glad it worked for you - the pip3 always worked for me but I've edited the cheat-sheet for anybody reading this in the future.

Perhaps we are using different Python versions on replit ...

python --version Python 3.8.12 which pip /opt/virtualenvs/python3/bin/pip which pip3 /opt/virtualenvs/python3/bin/pip3
