Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app

Hi, since a month I had issue with gcontactsync.
I decided to remove and reinstall it and now I have this message:
Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app

I tried with 3.1.7 and thunderbird 68.9.0.

Any hints?

Got the same issue on a fresh install, trying to use an app password.
It finally works with a normal 2-step authentication and the gContactSync app is now registered
at https://myaccount.google.com/u/1/permissions.

Check your "Third-party apps with account access" in the "Security" section of your Google account.

No luck.
gcontactsync 3.1.7

despite it has access

I have the same issue since some weeks only.
In the security settings it is allowed since 2019, only now it makes problems.
The Add-On is one reason I stick with TB 68.
But if it really won't work i guess i have to update TB in the end ...
Edit: I think it could have stopped working already June 2021 because the Google Contacts API stopped working, see:

To be honest I did not found a solution.
I moved to a different extension. I think is not nice to write here the link, drop me a message @francwalter if you are interested.

@mcgyver83 yes I'm interested! But how could I drop you a message here, there is no way to drop private messages here?

Ops.. you are right :(
Here the link for 1 day https://pastebin.com/GUw1SMdr

Ah, OK, I know this extension already :)
It's the normal replacement.
This extension here is dead anyway, so no mystery.
Thank anyway.
