Mail.ru cloud: "failed to authorize: oauth2: server response missing access_token"

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Recently rclone stopped working with mail ru cloud with the following message:

$ rclone lsd mailru:
2022/10/25 23:13:39 Failed to create file system for "mailru:": failed to authorize: oauth2: server response missing access_token

The same command used to work three months ago (August 2022).

rclone version v1.60.0 (latest at the moment)

  • I have not enabled 2FA, I am aware that is should not be enabled (see #3637 and #3988).
  • I haven't changed password nor changed anything in mail ru security.

hello and welcome to the forum,

can you post the full output of rclone lsd mailru: -vv

might try rclone config reconnect mailru:
or
create a new remote using rclone config

Here it goes (the password is deliberately hidden):

$ rclone lsd -vvv --dump headers,bodies mailru:

2022/10/26 10:00:44 Failed to create file system for "mailru:": failed to authorize: oauth2: server response missing access_token

By looking into the log I understood the confusion of Mail.ru Cloud: “Failed to authorize: oauth2: server response missing access_token” instead of “username or password is incorrect”.

I tried it when found the ticket #6398, but it seems that this backend does not support reconnect.

I have created a new remote and it fails with the same error. I think I miss some details in all this story. 2FA is certainly disabled, however I have application-specific passwords (generated long time ago) – probably that started to play a role the last time.

The integration tests for mail ru started falling in the same way recently.

I think the api must have changed somehow.

I'll reopen the issue above - please write anything you find out there.
