Can I authenticate with just Google account username and password instead of using OAuth?

Can I authenticate with just Google account username and password instead of using OAuth? If not, is it planned to support this kind of authentication in the future versions of Google Drive API?

I am currently using Google Documents List API which allows to authenticate with just username and password. So I am wondering if I can I do the same thing with Google Drive API.

    Are there any reasons you cannot use OAuth 2.0 as your authorization mechanism?

    Client Login is currently being deprecated and it would be better for you and your users to use OAuth 2.0.

    There are multiple code samples available in the Drive SDK documentation as well as in the various client libraries project page to help you get started.
