Now LeetCode uses reCAPTCHA. We can't login without recaptcha_token. I'm afraid they may add more login authentication from now on.

same problem here: skygragon/leetcode-cli#196

[cole-jacobs]

So is there any workaround for this issue? I just installed this package today, and I'm having the same problem logging in.

same problem here: skygragon/leetcode-cli#196

they fixed it using login with cookie

[gopakumar]

is there any way to workaround it by using cookie

[rockyzhang24]

Any updates for this?

[kaiwk]

yes, It seems we can read chrome cookie from local directory and decrypt browser storage, so that we don't need login anymore.

https://github.com/skygragon/leetcode-cli-plugins/blob/master/plugins/cookie.chrome.js

I haven't look into it, but it maybe doable in Emacs too.

@kaiwk Thank you very much. Are you planning to implement that?

[kaiwk]

Sure

[rockyzhang24]

@kaiwk Awesome. Looking forward to it!!!!!! I am new to Emacs, so I am not able to make some contribution to this. I am now already addicted to using this powerful monster. It is the must-have for me to play with LeetCode. Hope it can be fixed soon. Happy 2020.

[kaiwk]

I fix this by using a Python3 script to decrypt Chrome cookies, since Emacs lisp lack crypto library such as PBKDF2.

some things should be aware of:

• before using this package, one should install the python package: pip3 install my_cookies
• before executing command leetcode, one need to login LeetCode in Chrome (Sorry, Firefox)
• currently, I only implemented cookie decryption for Mac OSX

hope someone confirm it works on Mac, thank you!

[rockyzhang24]

That's awesome and the best news I got in this new year. I will give it a shot when I go back home later today. Thank you!!!!

Hello @kaiwk , I just tried it and I still could not log in. After executing M-x leetcode, there was a progress bar on the status bar and the progress bar kept moving from left to right, and nothing happened. I uploaded a record for you to take a look. Thanks.

By the way, my system is macOS 10.15.2.

have you tried my_cookies in bash? It should ask for Mac OSX keychain password, after that it will print your LEETCODE_SESSION and csrftoken.

if it works, try to eval (executable-find "my_cookies"), it should return the path.
