Note: Is may not work perfectly, it fails until I login once on the local machine. When I'm running on a server, lynx works just fine. I think there's something on google's end that might be monitoring the bgresponse field, or maybe I need to add a slight delay for the post. I'll try and get around it once I'm blocked again, since once it's working it works great for quite a while.

Hi, how would you deal with two steps verification ?

@evyatar54 just saw your comment I don't have the code for it right now but I've used pyotp library for getting the two step key to enter. Then simply catch the response on the first post, and post the two step reply.
