Enabling 2 Factor Auth for my account breaks OAuth access_code requests

Post Body

I'm not sure if this is a bug per se or if I am doing something incorrectly. Normally in the past, I retrieve a token via https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token with a grant_type of "password" and use my app's client_id and client_secret to create the Basic authorization header. Everything works as expected and I receive a token.

However, if I enable 2-Factor authentication for my account, the code that retrieves a token fails with this message:

{'error': 'invalid_grant'}

Should I use a different grant_type if I have 2-Factor authentication enabled on my account? Is there any other change I need to make for token generation to work correctly with MFA?

Thank you!
