Lately the webbrowser can't log to google services anymore. After providing username and password google just brings up a "You are trying to sign in from a browser or app that doesn't allow us to keep your account secure. Try using a different browser." message. Any suggestions? I tried changing user agent, but that didn't help.
Thanks

We're unfortunately having the same issue with some Google services using EO.WebBrowser.

Hi,
What version of EO.WebBrowser are you using? We tested with the latest build with Gmail here and it seems to work fine.
Thanks!

I'm using the latest build in NuGet and trying it with Google Calendar. Maybe I have some options enabled that are preventing the login. Let me see if I can get a repro project going. Just for the record, this is the issue I'm running into: https://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16717

Hi,
We tested it here with our TabbedBrowser sample application here and it worked fine. Can you try using TabbedBrowser sample application and see if it works for you?
Thanks!

This is crazy but it looks like it's working here now too. This has been an issue for weeks, maybe Google changed something on their end?

Hi,
It could be. We did hear this from another user once before but the issue went away by itself. So it does appear to be Google doing something on their end.
Thanks!

Hi, I am having the same issue with https://accounts.google.com/signinI get the following message when signing in: "This browser or app may not be secure. Learn more Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can refresh your screen and try again to sign in." And the "Learn More" link navigates to: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7675428?hl=enI am using the TabbedBrowser sample from V2019.2.91.0 (downloaded today). Note: The issue only occurs when not signed in at Google in advance. If signed in, then you first need to sign out in order ro reproduce the issue. Kind Regards, Duka

Hi,
We are not able to reproduce this issue on our end. It could be regional and it could have to do Chromium version we use. We are working on a new release that uses a much newer version of the Chromium browser engine. The new release should be out in January. One that release is out you can try it and see if it resolves the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
Ok, we will try again, when we get the new version with the new Chromium engine.
Thank you for the fast reply.
Kind Regards, Duka

I can confirm this same issue has been happening to me for the past few months, including with the latest version. I discovered a workaround today that I thought I'd share... if you use a custom user agent (a mobile one in my case) then it works... so far.

Hi,
I can confirm that workaround for "https://accounts.google.com/signin" works. I used the latest Firefox user agent string.
Thank a lot, Louis, for sharing the workaround :-)
Kind Regards, Duka

Thanks for sharing. We have posted our new 2020 release. Please try the new release without using custom user agent and see if it works for you.

Hi,
We are aware of this issue and there may not be much we can do --- it appears that Google is trying to block "embedder" on purpose. If we have any update we will post again.
Thanks!

Hi,
Unfortunately, the work-around (with any custom user agent) is not working with version 2020.1.88 of EO-webbrowser.
But the work-around still works with version 2020.0.81 of EO-webbrowser - And using a custom user agent for FireFox.
Kind Regards, Duka

Hi, This has been an issue for a while and unfortunately I do not believe there will be a reliable solution that would allow user to log into Google's directly through the Web interface going forward. Google started to block signs in from Chromium embedders since last year for security reasons and I do not expect them to walk back from that. The recommended alternative login method by Google is to use OAuth: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/native-appAnd you can find some sample code here: https://github.com/googlesamples/oauth-apps-for-windowsHope this helps. Thanks!
