Hangups [github] failed login attempt

Question

I'm trying to login to my google account using hangups. Yet I'm getting the following error:

Login Failed (Unknown verification code input)

I know the password is correct since when I input an invalid password I get:

Login Failed (Authorization code cookie not found)

Please help! I tried generating an app password, doesn't work either.
