Security check is needed DisplayUnlockCaptcha

muzzyrost commented 2 years ago

Hello there!

I'm getting the following error message when I try to download an app from the Google Play Store:

Security check is needed, try to visit https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha to unlock, or setup an app-specific password

I tried the following:

account password without MFA
account password without MFA and "unsecure" connection enabled (or however that is called)
app-specific password (with MFA)

If you use an app-specific password with MFA enabled, you should not hit a Captcha unlock requirement. It is indeed linked to NoMore201/googleplay-api/issues/152

On the 'Signing in to Google' panel, choose App passwords. If you don’t see this option: 2-Step Verification is not set up for your account 2-Step Verification is set up for security keys only Your account is through work, school or other organisation You’ve turned on Advanced Protection for your account ... Protect your account with 2-Step Verification Each time you sign in to your Google Account, you'll need your password and a verification code.

Absolutely not doing this, is there no other way? I'm pretty unlucky to install this program right after an issue like this comes up. It's nothing I can't wait a few weeks for but I think most people would agree that it makes the program unuseable

I have found that adding this parameter to gpapi/config.py in function getLoginParams:

"droidguard_results": "some_random_string"

makes the login work.

I accidentally stumbled across another workaround when I was looking for another tool to download APK files from Google Play.

Steps:

You need to enable 2FA on the Google account you wish to use to download using
Once 2FA is enabled, app passwords show up on accounts.google.com, create an app password
Clone http://github.com/89z/googleplay, build it using Go 1.17 and run the command: googleplay -e email -p 'app password here'. Once you get the following message, go back to gplaycli and use the same credentials (email and app password, not token).
Suddenly the "Security check is needed, try to visit https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha to unlock, or setup an app-specific password" error is gone and gplaycli is back to normal.

Yes, I tried that but unfortunately it didn't work.

@andryan https://github.com/andryan did you ever try enabling Less Secure App Access as previously discussed? If that works, I think it is a better solution than App Password, as it doesnt require 2FA.
