Mint module does not retry in non-headless state to enter MFA

[johnkferguson]

Hi,

When using the mint module to download data via mint, it never opens a non-headless browser so I can enter in my MFA information.

In the log below, it says Retrying login interactively, but never opens a browser in which I can select and enter my MFA.

I was having the same issue. The code forces Mint to be headless, but the login does not work for some reason. If you make sure mintapi installation work with

python mintapi/api.py --keyring --headless [email protected]  # supply the right path to api.py

It will save a session locally. Then running finance_dl's mint download. It would get further.
