Authorization code cookie not found (javascript needed error in lynx)

[kalon33]

I got the following error trying to get the cookie:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hangups_client.py", line 252, in <module>
    run_example(listen_events)
  File "hangups_client.py", line 56, in run_example
    cookies = hangups.auth.get_auth_stdin(args.token_path)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/hangups/auth.py", line 188, in get_auth_stdin
    return get_auth(CredentialsPrompt(), refresh_token_cache)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/hangups/auth.py", line 166, in get_auth
    session, credentials_prompt
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/hangups/auth.py", line 296, in _get_authorization_code
    raise GoogleAuthError('Authorization code cookie not found')
hangups.auth.GoogleAuthError: Authorization code cookie not found

Trying to connect with lynx, Google says that it needs Javascript for security reasons to continue.

How to fix or workaround this?

Furthermore, the instructions appear to be out of date; the current version of hangups has no --manual option:

(synapse) util% hangups -v

(synapse) util% hangups --manual

hangups: error: unrecognized arguments: --manual                                           

Logging in from a new, anonymous browser window on a different computer does not prompt for SMS, and doesn't change the result that @kalon33 reported.
