Is login by token supported?

As the subject said

[nlamirault]

I don't think so.
Do you have a link to the API ? example ?

Authentication -> Personal Access Tokens

[benquike]

BTW, I have tried using it, and found that this tool is very primitive.
Do you have some plans?

@benquike normally if you set gitlab-token-id, this should work. But unfortunately, I didn't get it working...

@To1ne, I have also not been able to set the gitlab-token-id.

After doing some digging, it seems that the POST /sessions endpoint has been disabled since 8.11, if you have 2-factor authentication enabled. See: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/session.html

As far as I can see, using POST /sessions is the only way to authenticate using this plugin.

[To1ne]

@tjaartvdwalt It should work if you create a Personal Access Token and (setq gitlab-token-id "my-token"). You see, it is used here. But I admit, it isn't working very well.

@To1ne Does not work for me either. I get an HTML 401 (Unauthorized) response.

Just successfully authenticated with this instructions on https://gitlab.com. I don't have 2-factor authentication enabled though.
