Additional context I have tried both disabling 2FA and using an App Password, but I still have the same problem.
I created a minimal vim.init and loaded it with nvim -u ~/.config/nvim/gkeep.vim, so there shouldn't be any other configuration interfering.
The gkeep.log file is empty.
I just added a list_notes.py script that calls gpsoauth and then gkeepapi directly, so that you can test the login and sync process outside of the plugin. While creating it, I noticed that I was getting the same errors as you. The login has unfortunately been quite flaky in the past, due to Google changing their API (it's not a public API, so nothing is officially supported). I've reported the login issues in gpsoauth: https://github.com/simon-weber/gpsoauth/issues/48. Hopefully they'll be able to figure out the root issue
list_notes.py gives the same error. Hopefully someone else can reproduce and figure out the problem. I commented in the gpsoauth issue too.
Same error, I think that two factor authentication may causing this error and I'm afraid that I don't want to disable it.
Same error... I tried disabling the 2FA and then got the following error:
Unknown error logging in; please report an issue on github. API error: ('UNKNOWN_ERR', None)
Which is honestly stranger.
Same here. The app password doesn't work.

It's a shame this issue still resides. I wish I had time/skill to look at it.
Does anyone know of a good alternative? - I am looking for something to manage tasks in Neovim and on the phone, with synchronization.
