Feature/add 2fa clarification #60

Open tip2tail opened 2 years ago

tip2tail commented 2 years ago

Like many, I now use Two Factor Authentication with Plex (2FA).

In order to login and get an API token from an application such as plex_dupefinder, you ned to know the "workaround" of adding your 2FA code at the end of the password. Source: https://unraid-guides.com/2021/01/31/how-to-connect-plex-to-apps-that-dont-support-two-factor-authentication-2fa/

This change will add clarification to README.md and to the prompts from config.py

I believe the token retrieved this way won't last long when 2FA is enabled. The link below is likely the only way to obtain a "permanent" token with 2FA enabled.

Just encountered this issue. The readme should have something about this.
