@agent0404 I think that error is “Multi-factor authentication required” - rclone doesn’t support multi factor auth yet.

any eta for this 😃 ?

This fix went into 1.46 which has just been released

Disabling 2FA did not fix this for me. I read something about MEGA changing it’s APIs. I will look into fixing this tomorrow morning.

Hi, new here. It’s been more than a year since the last message here so sorry for the necroing. Are there any plans to fixing the “Multi-factor authentication required” problem? Thanks in advance

Same problem for me, but a different error message:

rclone -vv lsd mega:
2019/01/18 16:22:12 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.45" starting with parameters ["rclone" "-vv" "lsd" "mega:"]

I didn’t enable 2FA. The account in question was created yesterday.

It might be a good idea to include a note in the docs until this is fixed.

I need to find someone to work on this - are you interested @GiganticThirstyHerald ?

ncw on Mar 23, 2021

I’ve had a go at fixing this. It works for my old account and a new one I created.

Please give this a go and report back - thanks!

I updated my version and works for me, Thanks

I can confirm the patch works for my approx. 6 month old mega account. TNX a lot for fixing this quickly!
