There's also a "plain" version, which lacks some functionality (-i, -p, -P, -S and no radio station names and no routines) but doesn't require 'jq' for JSON processing.
In order to use MFA, one needs to obtain the MFA_SECRET from your Amazon account:
In order to use MFA, one needs to obtain the MFA_SECRET from Amazon account:
1. You should have MFA using an App already working before proceeding
1. Add a new app
1. When presented with the QR-code select "can't scan code"
1. You will be presented with the MFA shaed secret, something like `1234 5678 9ABC DEFG HIJK LMNO PQRS TUVW XYZ0 1234 5678 9ABC DEFG`
1. You will be presented with the MFA shared secret, something like `1234 5678 9ABC DEFG HIJK LMNO PQRS TUVW XYZ0 1234 5678 9ABC DEFG`
1. Now you have to generate a valid response code via `oathtool -b --totp "<MFA shared secret from above>"` and enter that in the web form
1. Going from here the MFA shared secret becomes the MFA_SECRET for the alexa_remote_control script
*Treat that MFA_SCECRET just like your password - DO NOT share it anywhere!!!*
It is assumed that MFA secured accounts are less likely to get a captcha response during login - that's why MFA might yield better results if the plain username/password didn't work for you.
