I am also receiving a .NotLoggedIn error. I have tried putting my gmail address in quotes with the @gmail.com extension, have tried with just the username in quotes, and have tried both without quotes. I have tried putting the password in quotes and not. Running Python 3.6 and everything installed without an error. Any suggestions? Can anyone confirm this script still works please?

@giantsfan006
Any luck on your end?

I was able to log in by setting up at app password at https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and using that

It appears necessary to add @gmail.com to the username too
