For the Google Drive Python API, in all the tutorials I have seen, they require users to create a project in their Google Dashboard, before obtaining a client ID and a client secret json file. I've been researching both the default Google Drive API and the pydrive module.

Is there a way for users to simply login to their Google Account with username and password, without having to create a project? So once they login to their Google Account, they are free to access all files in their Google Drive?

It's not possible to use the Drive API without creating a GCP project for the application. Otherwise Google has no idea what application is requesting access, and what scope of account access it should have.

Using simply a username and password to log in is not possible. You need to create a project and use OAuth.

it might be possible using some pysimplegui hackery or just simply modifying the code of a python based browser but in most cases it is not practical

except if you need to automate something (like renaming files ) that would take 1 hour in a place where you do not have access to GCP
