The links in exception.LoginException FAQ are dead #149

Full text:

I get a “NeedsBrowser”, “CaptchaRequired” or “BadAuthentication” exception.LoginException when I try to log in.

This usually occurs when Google thinks the login request looks suspicious. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this:

  1. Make sure you have the newest version of gkeepapi installed.
  2. Instead of logging in every time, cache the authentication token and reuse it on subsequent runs. See here for an example implementation.
  3. If you have 2-Step Verification turned on, generating an App Password for gkeepapi is highly recommended.
  4. Allowing access through this link has worked for some people.
  5. Upgrading to a newer version of Python (3.7+) has worked for some people. See this issue for more information.
  6. If all else fails, try testing gkeepapi on a separate IP address and/or user to see if you can isolate the problem.

Ah, ReadTheDocs builds are currently broken. I'll get that fixed.
