Like many, I now use Two Factor Authentication with Plex (2FA).

In order to login and get an API token from an application such as plex_dupefinder, you ned to know the "workaround" of adding your 2FA code at the end of the password. Source: https://unraid-guides.com/2021/01/31/how-to-connect-plex-to-apps-that-dont-support-two-factor-authentication-2fa/

This change will add clarification to README.md and to the prompts from config.py

Converted score into string prior to printing to avoid fatal formatting error since tabulate converts the value to a float since version 0.8.8
Since plex is having such great troubles deleting files I wrote this little bash script to read the decisions.log and delete the files after it's been run.

I believe the token retrieved this way won't last long when 2FA is enabled. The link below is likely the only way to obtain a "permanent" token with 2FA enabled.

Just encountered this issue. The readme should have something about this.
