[twitter] 2-factor authentication blocks usage

[rautamiekka]

After I removed 2FA from my Twitter altogether I could use gallery-dl with username+password like normal, so can anything be done to have 2FA and still use gallery-dl ?

The output before 2FA removal:

# gallery-dl "https://twitter.com/SoulDew2"
gallery-dl: Starting DownloadJob for 'https://twitter.com/SoulDew2'

You should be able to use cookies instead of username&password.
For twitter, auth_token is all that`s needed and it only expires after several years:

"twitter": {
    "cookies": {
        "auth_token": "..."
    }
}

That worked. I created a dummy acc for that purpose.
