@shekkiesqueaks@computerfairi.es Google forced users writing services to use the user auth flow to generate credentials for authentication and disabled user/pass auth

When I scrambled to address how to do this with someone who *worked on the goddamn team* he had no idea how to help because the process was so arcane and had a billion different ways to do it none of which for servers were documented correctly

Finally I found the playground, created a permanent token and used that forever for auth
