You need to allow an application to be added via this URL, it will simulate the recaptcha check:

• https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

gkeepapi and the packaged used for the Android Application settings don’t support recaptcha, and that’s how google blocks you initially.

I experienced this issue myself when i was trying to test out gkeepapi. Funny thing is, I had disabled two-step authentication and the issue still occurred. So I thought what would happen if I enable two step authentication for my google account to be able to generate app password for my script. It turns out that it worked that way 😃 Hope this helps someone.
