MFA/2FA Support

[jxmesth]

Motivations

Please add support for accounts with MFA/2FA enabled.

• Would you like to implement this feature? [y/n] I'm not sure I'd be able to (N).

Solution

Support for accounts with MFA/2FA enabled. Ideally, the CLI should ask for the 2FA code.

Alternatives

Using token based auth, but I was unable to figure out how this works.

@MPult, please let me know if you're able to do this. Thanks.

wow i did i not think of this at all. definitely going on the todo list, but this will take quite some time as im busy.

thank you for the suggestion!

@MPult, of course, thanks for getting back to me so quick on this. Can I use the token method as a workaround for now? Could you please explain how I can extract the token?

I wasn't able to figure it out.

So the bearer token should accompany any request you make on the reddit page after logging in. so once logged in you'd have to check the network tab of the console, there you'd be able to find the token under authorisation

@MPult, thanks but for some reason I'm still not able to find it under the network tab or the application tab as well. Is it supposed to be under 'Response Headers' or something else maybe?

I'd def appreciate it of if could add steps to do this to the Wiki or something until you can implement the MFA/2FA support.

Thanks a lot!

I got good and bad news:

Good: I found out how to implement MFA

Bad: Reddit fundamentally changed the login process; it will take quite some time to reverse engineer it

@MPult, thanks for taking a look at this. I'm gonna choose to focus on the good news for now haha. Hopefully you're able to decipher the login process. All the best!

@MPult, were you able to figure it out?

@MPult, Hi, is this still under planning?
