[EricBoily]

hello,
I'm always getting a BadAuthentication error.. I tried my password, I tried to generate an apppassword, I tried another account.. no luck.
is it still working or google change something?

[] Getting master token...
{'Error': 'BadAuthentication'}
[!] Could not get master token.
[] Master token: None

thanks

Hi @EricBoily,

Do you get this error if you manually run python3 get_tokens.py? If so, I'm guessing you are running into this issue:

simon-weber/gpsoauth#24

Though it's not clear what exactly, it seems to be an issue with your combination of versions between Python and the Requests library. Try playing with upgrading/downgrading a bit as described in that issue, and it should start working!

Good luck!

Thanks for the answer, @chvancooten

yes I get the error when I run python3 get_tokens.py on macos catalina.
I tried some downgrade suggested in the tread you linked without luck. I'll keep digging on a clean linux installation.

thanks again.

Hi @EricBoily,

It looks like they recently closed the issue, pinpointing it to urllib3. Apparently you should use a version below 1.25.11 for it to work! Hopefully that works if you haven't tried it yet.

See here: simon-weber/gpsoauth#24 (comment)

Closing this issue for now (since it's not an issue with the token retriever script)
