Version
2.0.2
Relevant log output
I’m facing the same problem. Has anyone found a solution for it? I'm using the version 2.2.0.
Yes this is resolved for me. The MFA code has to be generated from an apple device before we execute he login and be appended to the password.
Example: p@$$word123456
Here 123456 is the MFA code.
Hope it helps

Unfortunately, that didn’t solve it for me. I tried two approaches:
$ ipatool auth login -e [email protected] --verbose
6:07PM INF enter password:
6:08PM DBG logging in authCode=
$ ipatool auth login -e [email protected] --auth-code [2fa code] --verbose 6:08PM INF enter password: 6:09PM DBG logging in authCode=[2fa code] [email protected] password=[password][2fa code]
Output:
6:10PM ERR error="something went wrong" success=false
"The MFA code has to be generated from an apple device before we execute he login and be appended to the password."
I have not got an Apple device. Apple only call me on a fixed line number.
How can you generate a 2FK code before the event?
has anyone encountered ipatool losing authentication, and requiring to re-auth into iTunes store again after some time (even though it had been signed into iTunes Store before and auth was never revoked manually)?
DBG error="received error: Sign In to the iTunes Store" metadata={"Data":{"CustomerMessage":"Sign In to the iTunes Store","FailureType":"2042","Items":null}, ...
is it an expected behavior?
5005 indicates that you haven't used the account on the appstore prior (usually this is when it forces you to add a payment method or whatever) so third-party stuff won't log in
@adrievx thanks! I'll log in to the App Store online now and see if it works.
