As it stands, the plugin is using a circumvention method to access a user's Google account. This is a flaky and usually temporary solution at best.

I imagine this has been tried, but I couldn't find any issues related to it: have we tried to use Google's native third-party app auth process? Or at least something like app-specific passwords?

Unless there's something specific to the Nest platform that blocks this, I'd be happy to give it a shot myself and send up a PR.

Home Assistant uses the proper Nest login configuration using real OAuth app credentials. It's somewhat cumbersome to set up (I did it the other week), but it is 100% legit:

Additional temperature sensors appear to not be supported using this method. Not sure if there are other devices or functionality not supported beyond that.

Dropping this because, as mentioned, it would break support for temperature sensors.
