"AuthenticationError: Login rejected as suspicious" How to solve this error for Twitter?

[rarelygoeshere]

Hello, I recently reinstalled gallery-dl, I inputted the Twitter username and password format with the correct info, but when I tried it, it gave me the above error and I don't know how to solve it. Hope someone can help.

Try using cookies directly instead of username&password login.

Ok, I tried gallery-dl --cookies-from-browser firefox "URL" and it worked! However, I wonder if you can extract a cookies.txt file for Twitter so that you can type the file path for it and it'll run with those cookies without having to specify commands.

You can specify a cookies file in your config: https://gdl-org.github.io/docs/configuration.html#extractor-cookies

Ok, I'm here to report that I used this extension to extract a cookies.txt file, and specified it like this, and it looks like it worked!

Thank you to everyone who gave their input to me!
