@ItzMiracleOwO I encountered that error for some time. However, I managed to fix it by enclosing the email and password with single quotes, like this:

ipatool auth login -e 'email@gmail.com' -p 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' --auth-code '123456'

If your account has 2FA setup you need to click Get Verification Code in your iPhone's Settings > Apple ID (click your name) > Password & Security > Get Verification Code and then pass that in with the --auth-code flag.

@ItzMiracleOwO What OS are you running ipatool on? If it's macOS, are you connected via SSH or using a third-party terminal?

I can reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 22.04 server (no desktop environment). I guess the application tried to use keyring.SecretServiceBackend as the backend, but since I don't have desktop environment install, it failed. I think there should be some fallback code.
