Is gmvault still working ? #343

Greetings,

I have been using gmvault for many years, but revoked the Google oauth access by mistake. Now it seems impossible t get a new oauth, even when recreating the google api from scratch. I get bad http requests and/or the Google verification key screen gets stuck. Tried the app password option, but when requested to type the password the keyboard seems dead.

thanks for any clarification

Update : Google oauth worked again today, so gmvault is working as before. Apparently Google only allows a couple of oauth action per day.

One remaining question : when using the -p app password option the password typed does not appear on screen and I could never make this work even when typîng ( blind ) the correct password.

Just thought I'd add, as a Gsuite admin I had to manually add the client_id to the list of approved apps under Security. Just paste the client_id from the string and add it. It will take a few minutes before it'll work (will also need to regenerate the url in the command line).

I can confirm, if you're using GSuite, you have to add the GMVault to approved apps under Security (as admin) first.

Or use password for the apps (even inc ase of GSuite). Worked for me.
