There's no need to disable 2 factor Authentication google, you can simply set-up an App Password on your account.

An App password is a 16-digit passcode that gives an app or device permission to access your Google Account. If you use 2-Step-Verification and are seeing a “password incorrect” error when trying to access your Google Account, an App password may solve the problem. Most of the time, you’ll only have to enter an App password once per app or device, so don’t worry about memorizing it.

To setup an app password:


  1. Visit here while logged into your Google account: https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
  2. Select App > Other. Name it whatever.
  3. Generate the password, then copy it.
  4. Paste that pass into your login screen on PokeFarmer.
  5. You're now able to log-in! If you get a generating error, just press Start Bot again and it should work.
If you've already saved the regular pass and it's just constantly trying to start with it. Either delete or edit Settings.json in the Cache folder of the bot!

Hope this helps! :)
