mintapi: InvalidElementStateException when logging in

Currently getting InvalidElementStateException error when trying to use the API. The script was functioning for months until last week, so this is likely due to a change on the Mint website.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I was seeing the same for last 2 days on all attempts so started investigating and got it working by hacking on the api code around mfa login. I had been using the 1.44 pip install and just now noticed that is a 6 month old build while the src here is more up to date and handled my first hurdle (no password input). So switched to running from src, commented out a few elements which the code expected (ie no mfa choice for me at least), and got the same “which account” screen which @KOEPKEJR saw (I also have other intuit accounts). Hard coded it to the first account and now everything is working.

I can put my hacks out on a branch, but I’m not confident that this is the same flow for everyone. If I get some time I’ll try to make my changes less hackish.

@jasonkissinger I pulled your branch and tried it out, it doesn’t resolve the issue I’ve had mentioned at https://github.com/mrooney/mintapi/issues/250 thought; the email value in not inserted into the email form field on the login page, it just hangs.

Thank you for your efforts on this.

I am attempting to go down the same hacking path that @jasonkissinger mentioned. However, when using the mintapi code I am constantly being asked to enter a 6-digit code from email. This seems to only occur when using a Selenium-managed Chromium session. Is anyone else being asked to enter an 2FA email code?
