Bug description

My nightly crontab to backup my Evernote notes failed with:

Reading database en_backup.db...
Authorizing auth token, evernote backend...
Authentication token expired or revoked!

Trying to init-db ore-auth I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

evernote.edam.error.ttypes.EDAMSystemException: EDAMSystemException(message=None, errorCode=8, rateLimitDuration=None)

My account is protected with 2FA, but the exception occurs after entering username/password; we don't get as far as requesting the 2FA token.

Can re-produce with the latest binary release.

A fix is given here:
#101

[Houska1]

I'm not the developer, but I've proposed an edit to the README documentation to clarify the situation as a stopgap. See #109. Due to Evernote policies, OAuth is now essentially required and should probably becomes default behaviour, with username and pwd passed from command line or solicited by evernote-backup and sent to Evernote servers an optional alternate (for backend China, for instance).

Try evernote-backup reauth --oauth
