Hi: sounds like a great tool but cannot get it to work, because I get same problem with "BadAuthentication"
Last version of whapa (updated today) and python, under lubuntu18.
Email and password checked and correct. Tried to change password but does not solve.
I wonder if there is anything I have to do on the Google side: any account setting? any unlocking?
visited https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and unlocked access there.
Just let me know if you need me to produce other info to let you reproduce and/or understand the issue
thanks a lot

There is a problem with the latest version of requests.
I recommend install requests 2.21 to solve it.

In using whagodri.py, I have seen an interesting behavior where it looks like these calls are failing w/ "BadAuthentication" if run from VMWare or from an EC2 instances, but they work from Windows Desktop and OSX.

In looking at the "Recent security activity" and clicking on the individual event, I can see "VMWare Virtual Platform" or "t3.medium" respectively on the failed attempts. Anyway, just wanted to share the data points.

I also tested from Windows Desktop but VPNing through an EC2 IP address, and this worked.

Thank you! Indeed, did "pip install requests==2.21.0" on the EC2 instance (as noted above) and it worked.

installed requests 2.21.0 and IT DID WORK for me, and that is the good news

just to make sure, here below is the output I get when checking a whatsapp backup
do you confirm this indicates an empty/corrupt backup? (that would be the bad part of the news)

thank you all for the support

It seems that the google drive account linked to the phone does not have any backup. So it may be a bad backup or one that never existed.

Problem solved after installing 2.21.0.

I got the msgstore.db.crypt12 file but the key is needed to decrypt it. Is it possible to get the msgstore.db file or the key from Drive?
