Security check is needed DisplayUnlockCaptcha

[druphliu]

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)

Yes,I am also facing the same issue from last day only.When did you start facing this same problem?

[adtimizer]

same here... what a nightmare. tried multiple accounts/app specific but nothing worked. Yesterday google announced some changed to the playstore agreement... maybe its related?

I am also facing the same problem. Did someone figure it out?

I am not able to login in the playstore.It is giving me 'Security check is needed, try to visit https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha to unlock, or setup an app-specific password' again and again

Now, I am also facing the same problem. Did someone figure it out?

Having the same issue, I just tested apkeep (which is still maintained) and it seems to work just fine!

I'm unsure what is the difference which makes it work.
@Hainish Would you have any idea? 🙏

[adtimizer]

great!!!!!! thanks for sharing.
do you know if its possible to get the split option? i can't see it in the USAGE text.

[Hainish]

@pnu-s I'm really not sure, I mostly mimic what this library does, providing the default device configuration of hero2lte, a timezone of UTC, and a locale of en_US.

@adtimizer No split apk support yet. It's on the list.

APKeep (and rust gpapi) not working for me now, either. Have tried multiple old and new accounts, signing onto emulator play store first (and accepting terms) or not. No luck. Is it possible Google has disabled app passwords for play store access? (Or gotten even better about identifying unofficial clients?)

[HarryWindsor]

I am having the same issues, https://github.com/EFForg/apkeep is not an option for me as I need a python api :(

This problem seems to be still active. Some moths ago ocurred and the solution was to add a parameter ("droidguard_results": "some_random_string") in function getLoginParams (that is in gpapi/config.py). I guess something similar is happening this time. Google might have updated/changed something about their login.

Did anyone find out news about this issue? (Or has any idea that can feed to find a solution)
