Because of recent issues with credentials (people changing credentials), we've add a token authentification method using a third-server token dispenser:
- the server https://token.matlink.fr/token/email/gplaycliacc@gmail.com provides tokens from
gplaycliacc@gmail.com
account without requiring to have the account password - credentials.conf now supports 2 more options:
token
andtoken_url
- if
token=True
andtoken_url=<token_dispenser_url>
thengplaycli
will use the token authentification instead of credentials. It will request thetoken_url
a token to use for further communications with google play store - if you don't want to use the config file, you can use
--token
(doesn't need value) and--token-url <token_dispenser_url>
Pros:
- don't need to bother with credentials anymore
- nobody will be able to change the password
Cons:
- the third party server (handled by myself for the default one) will be aware of who is using its credentials (privacy issues)
I give you the choice, it's up to you.
