Hi Great work!!! would love to use the tool :).
As I have described above, keep-test.py -> working:

$python3 keep-test.py
Enter your Google account username: *****
Enter your Google Password: 
Test worked!! You've succesfully logged into Google Keep! Please try running Keep-it-Markdown or KIM!

kim.py -> cannot sign in, will ask me to put in username, but not ask for password, will throw error right after username is put in

 python3 kim.py

Welcome to Keep it Markdown or KIM!

Enter your Google account username: ******

Username or password is incorrect (NoKeyringError('No recommended backend was available. Install a recommended 3rd party backend package; or, install the keyrings.alt package if you want to use the non-recommended backends. See https://pypi.org/project/keyring for details.'))
Could not excute KIM

I am using Sign in with App Passwords https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833 for sign in.

running Python 3.8.10

@4MarkusMarkus - thx! Somehow you are missing a keyring secure storage module for the Keep token. I think you can still use kim with the -r parameter and it won’t try to save your Keep token. try python3 kim.py -r which requires you to enter your pw every time.

what operating system are you using?

@4MarkusMarkus did you try the kim.py -r option yet?

I also used to have sign in problems ...
I was able to solve it with ...

pip3 install --upgrade keyrings.alt

[... from stackoverflow ]

This way I just enter the pin# I chose and haven't had any problems since.

@nveeser - see the previous comment for the fix for keyring (I assume you're having the keyring issue)
