Description

Some of us are getting this message:

Google Password: 
Default value of parameter `bgresponse` has not accepted.
                Please visit login URL https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2/initsso?idpid=C00pn5t3o&spid=112173148568&forceauthn=false, open the web inspector and execute document.bg.invoke() in the console.
                Then, set --bg-response to the function output.

But running that in the JS console is not possible, it gives an error.

  1. Are we supposed to run that command at the Google account selector screen? Or another point?
  2. Is it possible to get this value from the source code of the page?

Research direction
Investigate the tool's authentication flow where 'bgresponse' parameter is expected. Look for where the browser automation (likely using Selenium or similar) retrieves this value from the Google login page. Check recent comments for any hints about the parameter's source. The fix may involve adjusting how the parameter is passed or extracted from the SAML response.
