Can't login on google account, again.

[maccagnan]

Version info:v2.2.1/v2.5.2

Does the bug happen if you start with --temp-basedir?:yes

Description
since a couple of days I can't login into google account anymore. this happens on two different distros, devuan chimaera with qb 2.2.1 and debian testing with qutebrowser 2.5.2.
I tried the workaround suggested in another issue and also changed the user agent with
:set -u https://accounts.google.com/* content.headers.user_agent "Mozilla/5.0 ({os_info}; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0"
I tried erasing the cookies and restarting,but to no avail.
I still get the browser not compatible error.
Any suggestion as to fix it?
By the way, falkon with the same qtwebengine version login without problems.
How to reproduce

solved using
set -u https://accounts.google.com/* content.headers.user_agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Falkon/3.1.0 Chrome/83.0.4103.122 Safari/537.36"

Given that you found a solution, and nobody else reported this problem in the past 2-3 weeks, I'm going to assume this was a problem of some sorts on your side.

Someone else reported something that sounds similar (private link). Will need to take a look, but as usual, probably not too much we can do about it.

Recently the issue presented itself again.
I can log in on one google account, but if I try to login in another, I get the error even though the user agent is the same.

Hey there,
today I got an email informing that there had been suspicious activity on my google account on one of my devices and I had been signed out.

The suspicious app was indeed qutebrowser, since even after restoring my account (using another browser) I can not login on qutebrowser on this device, while other browsers work just fine.

When I try to login, I get this screen, after which even if I input my email and solve the captcha, I am not allowed to input my password and log in.

Interestingly, qutebrowser on another linux laptop of mine works perfectly with this same account. 🤷🏻

This is happening to me again after an update to Qutebrowser Qt6 (master branch, Nixpkgs qutebrowser-qt6 derivation):

As mentioned above, changing the user agent is enough to work around this issue:

# Temporary configuration.
config.set('content.headers.user_agent',
           'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/111.0.0.0 Safari/537.36',
           'accounts.google.com')
