Add 2FA support

[gdzevo]

Is there any chance to get 2FA support or at least update related documentation on https://docs.pcloud.com/
I made a choice to use pcloud because you had clients for most of systems, even for those that do not have GUI installed.

I also cannot use this client because of the lack of 2FA.

If I'm reading the debug log correctly, having 2FA enabled on the pCloud account and trying to use this client gives the error "NOTICE: pdiff.c:241 (function get_connected_socket): userinfo returned error 1141 Please provide 'deviceid'.", which sorta makes sense if 2FA is half-implemented already.

I found a "devices" table in the .pcloud/data.db SQLite database, but I don't know if that's related, and I can't be bothered to look any further. I'm going to do something more fun. :)

I would love to see this too... I would prefer to keep my cloud storage in sync with a local headless server of my own but I'm unwilling to abandon 2 factor to do so.

This is also a major concern for me. Support for 2FA for the command line client would be great.

#163 should fix this for you, assuming you are just using an authenticator and not SMS

[m-alt-f]

This looks good! Is there a way for me to test this before it's been merged with main?

Starting from scratch, something like this should work (If you already have a checkout of console client, you can start from the fetch command)
❯ git clone https://github.com/pcloudcom/console-client.git
❯ cd console-client
❯ git fetch origin pull/163/head:tfa-support
❯ git checkout tfa-support

Then just build it following the normal build instructions.
when you start pcloudcc, add -t <2fa code> to the command line.
I haven't added support for prompting for the 2fa code, but it would not be hard if someone wants to do it (the change is very simple to follow. Where it calls psync_set_tfa_code, you can make it prompt the user for the code instead of reading it from the command line option)
It will also auto-mark the computer you do this on as trusted (which should also be an option), so you won't get 2fa prompted for like 30 days i believe.

So i took a few minutes and added (untested) support for prompting for the 2fa code if you don't set it on the command line.
I also made whether to trust the device an option.
Feel free to try it out and let me know if it works.

[swirlypillow]

Awesome, thanks! This going to get merged to master?

Works great, thanks! Is the console client maintained at all because I feel like this should get more attention.

Any chance to have 2fa support anytime without to checkout an experimental branch #163 ???

[decorte]

no tfa support is making this app unusable! please do something about it.... #163 is not working for me

[gdzevo]

@decorte you could try rclone with mount command.`

Based on my observations pCloud team is mostly focused on sales and not support. That applies no only to this abandoned linux client but even to the mac application.
I regret that bought life-time plan, to be honest.

[le-avion]

I built this following the instructions above and the original build instructions.
When I try to login with the following command line

pcloudcc -u email@domain.com -t 123456 -p

I am still getting the following error:

pCloud console client v.2.0.1
Please, enter password
Down: Everything Downloaded| Up: Remaining: 1 files, 0Bytes, status is CONNECTING
Down: Everything Downloaded| Up: Remaining: 1 files, 0Bytes, status is BAD_LOGIN_TOKEN

Does this work for anyone?
