No supported authentication method(s) available error.

See original GitHub issue

I set up 2FA on my Gmail account, and app specific password for my test script.

I’m getting the following error:

No supported authentication method(s) available. Unable to login.

The error is still there even if I turn off 2FA and use my real password. Anyone know if this is a bug?

I believe the only way to use plaintext passwords with gmail is if the “less secure” setting is enabled on the account. Otherwise you have to use something like OAuth2 as I indicated earlier.

It should be password and not pass.
