BadAuthentication using an App Password
Hi! I'm trying to test the script but I'm getting BadAuthentication
$ node --version
v8.17.0
$ waex -e [email protected] -p {APP_PASSWORD} -n {NUMBER} -i {DEVID} --list
Error: [!] getGoogleAccountTokenFromAuth status: Error=BadAuthentication
at Extractor.getGoogleAccountTokenFromAuth (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-whatsapp-drive-extractor/index.js:53:23)
at <anonymous>
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:189:7)
I've read on the troubleshooting that there has been some issues on authentication using newer versions of Node, but I'm using version 8 as specified and getting the same error. I've double checked the app password is ok, generated a second one just in case but same result. Not sure if it's a bug or a config issue.
I just tested this library few days back. It used to work with Node v8 but it stopped working. Not only for this project, but many others as well

Still waiting for someone to find a fix for it :/
Downgrading urllib3 fixed it for me with gplaycli (see https://github.com/matlink/gplaycli/issues/260#issuecomment-778663387)

Apologise for not getting back to you. I haven't had the time to take a look into this. Seems like the python community has found the fix but not for node. Will keep this issue open till I have the time to take a deeper look into it or when the other issues are fixed in other repository.
