403:Access denied error on last step of personal API walkthrough

[ferfey]

I followed the walk through and on the second device ID screen I received the following error

I tried to use the “less secure apps” option but that feature has been disabled by google.
Is there some other setting in Oauth or credentials that needs to be tweaked to give my Kodi add on access?

G'day,

I was getting this error on the second code as well. I went back into the oauth consent section and clicked "publish". https://i.imgur.com/KBudxAO.png Then the second code worked and I signed in... should work for you.

Thank you, the fix worked for me too. Perhaps one should consider updating it on the wiki.

This worked for me too.

Is there a security risk involved? Google warns that "Your app will be available to any user with a Google Account". Does it pose a risk without them having the API key and OAuth credentials?

[Duke999R]

I'm pretty sure that it only causes an issue if someone else gets access to the keys and such. Keep them safe and you should be fine. I've had no issues so far.

As an alternative to publishing you can add your Account as a Test User, thereby allowing access. By default nobody (not even the account owning the project) has access.

For what it worth, I'd like to emphasise that before facing the issue I had to complete the sign-in process under the private mode of the browser. For unknown reason, it failed in normal mode with this cryptic message "Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again."
