A web-browser-based login is most likely needed.

I wrote some docs on logging in via a web browser, and it seems like it still works simon-weber/gpsoauth#13
EDIT: Actually, logging in via a web browser isn't needed

@brandon15811 What do you think is needed then?

@MCMrARM I'm not sure what exactly needs to be changed, but I do know login without a web browser is still possible.

I made a POC google play downloader a while ago, and it still works:

tl;dr: I used https://github.com/brandon15811/gpsoauth for most of the login stuff, and https://github.com/mmcloughlin/finsky for downloading the APKs

Re to the second point: No, and don't do that. Google Play counts the downloads in number of accounts, as far as I am aware. And by doing that, you're also breaking their ToS and depending on the situation, it might get your application removed altogether. Please don't do that, it's cheating and makes stuff worse for everyone as it makes Google more likely to take action against all sort of projects using the Google Play API.

So, some work has been done on creating a separate tool to sign in: https://github.com/minecraft-linux/playdl-signin-ui-qt
