I bumped to 2.0.2 and have no error now. Doesn’t seem to work tho because I don’t see any updates of device trackers. I’ll wait some more and report back (if there will be error I’ll open issue on github 
)
Thx
Hi all,
Sorry if this was already answered. But would a google ‘App password’ work for this?

Cheers
Edit: As I posted this I noticed the ‘similar post’ message on the right hand side of the screen, sorry!
Looks like hassio with 0.68.1 is still using
locationsharinglib-1.2.1-py3.6.egg-info/
Facing this issue outside of hassio with get-maps-cookies -https://github.com/costastf/locationsharinglib/issues/22
A usage question, within homeassistant with 2FA enabled, how is the challenge handled given it’s only u/p in the config and the rest is in the background.
How fix cookie error?
Hi all
I’m getting no update, just after restarting Hassio.
I’m running on 0.69.1 (was the same with 0.69) on RPi 3 B
I get these error messages in the log
2018-05-13 14:24:50 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.device_tracker] Error setting up platform google_maps

Any advice?

Maybe I’m saying too obvious things, but have you tried deleting the .google_maps_location_sharing.cookies file and restarting the Home Assistant? This file is hidden and located in the folder config
Yes, I’ve tried several times to remove the .google_maps_location_sharing.cookies file in the config folder.
When I do, I get the security alert mail from google and it does update just after restarting Hass.io. Then no more updates.
If I just restart Hass.io, I get an update (no security mail) and then no more.
same for me, hassio rpi v0.69.1
Confirmed same behaviour. HA 0.69.1
lets make sure to get the new error posted in github for this project:
@costas I use this component for several days. It works fine, but sometimes the location is read with rather low accuracy (up to 3128 meters). I read in this thread that the component previously allowed to set the accuracy threshold, but now I see only two variables in the component description: username and password.
Is there any way to filter the location with an accuracy of more than 150 meters?
It seems like the person.id is blank when it is the location of the account that is being used that is sent back. I changed line 68 of “google_maps.py” to read:
dev_id = ‘google_maps_{0}’.format(slugify(person.id if person.id is not None else ‘Patrick’))
Where Patrick is the account holder’s name.
v2.0.7 of the underlying library should fix that for you @Patrick123. In place of the missing ID you will get the email of the account.
@Yevgeniy I am actually on an old HA version so still using a custom component, which indeed has a fix for accuracy. Don’t really remember where I got it exactly from but here it is…

Please update the version of the underlying library to the latest version.
For everyone having issues with random lock outs from google please use the latest version and report on the issue tracker of the library until we get all of the issues fixed.
FYI
I’ve updated to 2.0.7 (by editing homeassistant/components/device_tracker/google_maps.py) and so far no errors and HA picks up data correctly
I will close this thread. It was create for the feature.
Please open a new thread in Configuration or report issue in the tracker. Thanks
