BadAuthentication #298

Description

@moonlightz

AI suggested me to use gplaycli to get apks version, description etc.
OS: Debian 13
Python: 3.13.5
Method of installation: pipx install gplaycli
Additional commands suggested by AI: pipx inject gplaycli protobuf==3.20.3 --force
pipx inject gplaycli setuptools --force

I created a .config/gplaycli/gplaycli.conf copied from original gplaycli.conf and modified to have my email, to have 16-char password separed by 3 spaces, and token set to false. The 2-factor auth is on. When I set the 16-char, I said yes on my mobile message.
I get:

gplaycli -c ~/.config/gplaycli/gplaycli.conf -s meo -v                                                                                                                                                                               1 ⨯
