Thanks for the report, I'm guessing it's an issue with your Google account security settings. I don't know how to set it up, unfortunately.

Yes, you're right. Two-factor authentication is enabled for my account. In such cases, you can log in to your account with the application password. I generated this password, but I can't log in with it, because after entering my email, Google immediately redirects me to the page shown in the screenshot above.

I disabled two-factor authentication, enabled the Less Secure Apps account login feature. But I still can't log in to the Scrapbox from sbe. This link https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7675428?hl=en lists the reasons why authentication is not successful:

To help protect your account, Google doesn't let you sign in from some browsers. Google may stop sign-ins from browsers that:

  • Don't support JavaScript or have Javascript turned off.
  • Have unsecure or unsupported extensions added.
  • Use automation testing frameworks.
  • Are embedded in a different application.

Hi, I have the very same problem :(. Hopefully, somebody will be able to find workaround.
