Host requires authentication

[Peter-Ries]

Hi,

my gmail feed yesterday stopped working. I have latest version from git/arch.

I have gmail with 2FA but an app password set that worked for some months now.

What could I do to reset the app to a "new" state so I can give credentials once again?

I purged the app and reinstalled but nothing happened. I tried to remove manually and removed password from kwallet but due to the lack of a initial dialog I am not able to provide any credentials. App just uses the old username and does not ask for a password. Just complains that Host requires authentication.

Calling the rss atom feed in an anonymous browser session and entering my credentials returns a valid result so I suppose it's gmail-feed haveing messed up it's config.

So, how to reset it?

Thanks!

FYI Gmail-feed (https://github.com/anthon38/gmailfeed), the project source of this fork (I think), was been recently updated and works like a charm, with new kde accounts manage.

Hi,

for me everything is working correctly, because I followed these steps:

With this 16 character password everything is working!

I use Gentoo and I don't understand why masking to remove this program later...

@elbowz Unfortunately that latest (promising) release didn't work for me as explained under this issue there.
I can use the Ultimate GMail Feed with an application password instead of 2FA as mentioned above though.

@Sadi58 you have right...I have just try to create a new account with the kde accounts manage and obtained your same error msg: "this app is blocked".

I guess Google policy was changed
