Can No Longer Login To Robinhood via robin-stocks API

[Two20Two21]

Problem Statement:

I have been running robin-stocks API to access Robinhood for a few months. I've had no issues until a few days ago. Now, I cannot login.

Previously, Robinhood has asked me to verify it's me and then I have to input an MFA code. Now, it still asks me to verify it's me but before asking me to input the MFA code, it stops due to an unhandled exception. Looking at the API code, it appears the code expects an 'access_token' to be returned. When there isn't one, it throws the exception. I get back code 403.

I have not changed anything I am aware of. I've even gone back to a compiled version that's been working since 11/21/24 and it now does not work either. I've tried inputting a new Authenticator App code. My email and password are correct. The problem is occurring on two different computers, both previously working fine.

I'm stumped. Please help.

My Code:

import robin_stocks.robinhood
import pyotp
from datetime import *

now = datetime.now()
totp = pyotp.TOTP("KACUJH6EKZZCVZ6K").now()
print("TOTP: " + str(totp))
login = robin_stocks.robinhood.login(my_user_name, my_password, store_session=True)

Console Error:

Process finished with exit code 1

API Code: last line with "raise Exception" is where the error occurs, no 'detail' in data, there was no access_token which seems to be the fundamental problem.

    if 'access_token' in data:
        token = '{0} {1}'.format(data['token_type'], data['access_token'])
        update_session('Authorization', token)
        set_login_state(True)
        data['detail'] = "logged in with brand new authentication code."
        if store_session:
            with open(pickle_path, 'wb') as f:
                pickle.dump({'token_type': data['token_type'],
                             'access_token': data['access_token'],
                             'refresh_token': data['refresh_token'],
                             'device_token': payload['device_token']}, f)
    else:
        raise Exception(data['detail'])    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Exception is here

Try using #510. This worked for me.

Christopher, Thanks so much for responding. If I understand correctly, there is supposed to be a function _get_sherrif_challenge in authentication.py. I'm using robin_stocks version 3.2.1 and I don't see that function in that file. I must be missing something. Can you point me in the right direction?

if that doesn't work. Seems this works for those that #510 doesn't work for:

Christopher, Thanks! I am up and running. I'm sure I would still be struggling if not for your help.

This works.

I think this issue can now be closed. The main take-away is to make sure that if one is setting store_session=False when using PyOTP to automatically generate and input MFA Codes when calling robin_stocks.robinhood.login.

anyone know how to make the code work for device approvals. i only get device approvals now from my iphone robinhood app. and then the code i run waits for the device approval to be approved and then checks to see if i can log in successfully. but it never sees that i approved the device.
