Store 2FA Cookie

[famewolf]

Normally when you hit the 2FA code screen you enter the 6 digit code and check a box that says "Don't ask anymore" which will be good for 30 days. I assume a cookie gets stored of some sort. Having to enter the code every time you start the program is not so bad. Having to enter it every single time the program crashes because your internet took longer than 30000ms or even 60000ms to answer a request can quickly become annoying when you are having to grab your phone and run the authenticator app for the 50th time that day because Sprint sometimes sucks.

Unfortunately I really don't think this is possible, since puppeteer opens a new unique instance of chrome every time, it won't remember cookies.

ack, spoke too soon, it might be possible: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48608971/how-to-manage-log-in-session-through-headless-chrome

I've played around with this a little, and I think the suggestion in that stack overflow works, but it seems to have some weird and unintended side effects that I'd need to handle. If you want to experiment with it for now, open the index.js and update line 24 like:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false, userDataDir: "./user_data" });

This should save your session and cookies, so it should remember your 2fa preferences. The problem is since it thinks you are logged in, it goes to a different log in page then normal, which only asks for your password, so you'll have to manually enter it! 🙄

This should be resolved with latest release. Set remember_me flag to true and it will only ask you for your 2fa once.
