Able to login using wrong id and password if robinhood.pickle already exists in local #202

Open stockanalysisapp opened 3 years ago

stockanalysisapp commented 3 years ago

I was able to login using wrong id and password if robinhood.pickle was already created by the previous id and password. I had to remove 'robinhood.pickle' in the pickle_path. Before I removed the file, I was able to login with any id and password. For example, I could retrieve all holdings by simply running r.login() without any parameters.

home_dir = os.path.expanduser("~")
data_dir = os.path.join(home_dir, ".tokens")
creds_file = "robinhood.pickle"
pickle_path = os.path.join(data_dir, creds_file)
if os.path.isfile(pickle_path):
    os.remove(pickle_path)

@stockanalysisapp I experience the same problem. And @lalliexperience I believe it is some sort of API thing, as robinhood seems to send an sms in order to confirm creation of the pickle file.

It would be nice if store_session=False would allow you to login without creation of the pickle (and needing the sms), because it is creating a big pain for my scripts.
