OAuth2 has a device authorization flow which could provide a smoother authentication method compared to the native application flow which the project uses at the moment.
Describe the solution you'd like
The user should be able to specify the device authorization flow as an option. In this flow the native application presents an 8 character code to the user, who then enters it online, which either authorizes the application against an existing session or authenticates the user.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Well, you could eventually pop up a browser window, but that would be a lot harder to achieve.

I'm trying to auth in ubuntu server and am struggling to complete the loop with no GUI. I second the request for an alternate device authorization flow.
FYI - you do not need a GUI to complete the auth process.
You can copy the auth URL to any system, do the auth there, then copy the URI back to the prompt.
I can absolutely verify this, and the nativeclient approach isn't a problem for me at all. I've even borrowed this technique - which I first learned about here - in a set of scripts that I wrote to demonstrate OAuth2 flows for my colleagues (and vendors !)
But the device flow is easier for people to understand, so it would be nice to have.
