    Hello,

    I have factor authentication turned on on my Google account. I've configured the plugin in the way it was described in "Support" section (without auto-sync). When start sync KeePass just freeze and gives no response to any actions. Moreover I receive SMS with one-time PIN on my phone.
    Is there any way to configure the plugin with TFA in the same manner as i.e. mail application (per application password described in https://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185833&topic=2784804&ctx=topic)?

    Thanks in advance for help

    Hi Marek,

    The plugin does not account for 2 step verification. But you might want to try using an older version, it might prompt you to enter the code from your SMS.

    I will add it to my to-do list, thanks for pointing it out.

    Note: if you are going to try the older version, please use the sample config included in the zip file.
