Can't login to any google services

crasher308

I made my own post about this after the fact, but I figured I found one more thing out that was interesting. I went on the laptop I originally had vivaldi on and grabbed an old version of it. I managed to install it on this PC which I can't login to google with and I managed to login with the old version. However, when I updated after logging in it asked me to login again and gave me the same issue. Maybe it has something to do with how google is recognizing the new browser? Honestly on the desktop I'm better off using the old version until a fix is found.

Okay I finally fixed it on my end, but you do need an old version of Vivaldi to get this to work (possibly?). I went to my google account settings and removed access for vivaldi in the apps that have permission (although i'm not sure if this is necessary). I then went to the executable path found in vivaldi://about and deleted the entire Vivaldi folder, installed the old version of Vivaldi (mine was Vivaldi.1.9.818.49), signed into gmail with authentication, and then updated Vivaldi and I was still signed in. Now hopefully I can sign in on my laptop that I removed access to.

Glad it worked for you, it didn't worked for me, and it's not really a solution. If you logout you probably won't be able to login again, if you want to use a new google service that you currently don't use and want to login it wont work, if you occasionally love to clean your history and cookies this method isn't viable. This needs to be addressed by the devs (if they care). Till then its RAM hungry Chrome for me.

Yes. I had same issue too. When I try to log in I get “Something went wrong” error message. I have reported it here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/30433/gmail-error-fresh-snapshot-2-0-1309-25-official-build-64-bit
But I could log on with incognito mode. I am hoping someone would find what’s going on.
Thanks

Seems, that my issue with login to digitalocean using google SSO is related to this issue. I create issue on vivaldi bug tracker. Waiting for fix.

Same here: When I try to login to google it shows
"Something went wrong
Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again."
Vivaldi blocks Google sign in for some reason.

Ayespy

@arniingi That's backwards. What appears to be happening in a small scattering of cases is that Google or a 3rd party source is blocking Vivaldi from signing in.

@ayespy I'm experiencing the same problem. Do we have to wailt until Google grants us access through Vivladi again?

I'm having the same problem here. Totally frustrated with it, I have tried reinstall it, restarted my computer, disabled my antivirus, disabled my extensions, cleared everything in Vivaldi (cache, cookies, etc) and nothing works. Everything is fine on the other browsers, going to use them for a while until problem resolved.

Same for me.
The only way I could log in to GMail is by using incognito mode, strangely.
Can you also try incognito mode?

Just here to add in another report of this issue. New install, new profile, windows 10, not able to log in normally. It does let me log in in incognito mode. Really want to use Vivaldi since they've corrected the middle-click drag behavior but as it is it's a no-go.

@snakecro You are right, it's more of a band-aid just so I have access to the services in the meantime, and yes I would not be able to create another google account, sign into one unless I had previously signed into that account on the old version.

Ok, nice to see that I'm not the only one.

Right now something weird happened.
I'm sitting on my one laptop where everything is working ( vivaldi 2.0.1309.17 ).
I was logged in to gmail - so usually when I open other services I'm logged in to google.
..but when I opened music.google.com I was redirected to "Sign in to Chrome" page, wtf?

Another thing, if google deny Vivaldi access, isn't it possible to use a User-Agent switcher? I've tried to set other browsers in the extension, and that's no solution..

I was not redirected, but it opened a separat page for the "Sign in to Chrome" page. No problem to recreate it..

@torgils
Hi, you can test with developer tools Ctrl+Shift+I
Click 3 dots menu > More Tools > Network conditions
Uncheck Select automatically and choose Edge or whatever
After restart Vivaldi setting is lost.

Cheers, mib

@ayespy I can sign in while in Incognito but not in normal mode, it's not Google blocking it, it's something wrong with Vivaldi.

iAN CooG

If you can sign in while in incognito maybe it's a cookie conflict caused by the new Vivaldi release major version. Try clearing the cookies for google sites.
I have no problems with either gmail and youtube, but maybe it affects randomly other google services.

Standpipe

@ian-coog Done that, doesn't fix it. Used a completely new installation with a new profile after clearing history/cache and uninstalling old version.

@standpipe How is Vivaldi installed? Is it User Only, All Users, or Standalone? Where is the Vivaldi Executable located? Do you have ANY 3rd party security software installed? Do you change ANY Vivaldi flags?

There are now enough reports of this (3 or 4 on the forums) that it will be useful to find a common denominator if possible. Google is forever screwing things up, making their own pages and services unavailable, breaking utility in the name of security, discriminating against competitors, etc., etc. But it's hard to say what's happening here.

I personally am now having trouble at random times loading some Google pages - they load but don't display until one leaves the tab and comes back - (but no other pages), making me wonder if they broke Chromium, or broke their own sites, or just the combination, or what.

Any help finding common denominators will be useful. The bug should be reported on the bug report line by someone who has the bug - but if testers and developers can't reproduce it, no work will be done on it.

Everything works just fine. I am using Vivaldi snapshots for almost a year now. Recently I had issues with GMail. I could not log in. It just says "something went wrong". I tried removing every trace of Vivaldi and/or creating new profile nothing solves the problem. I also checked without any add ons with out enabling sync on a fresh install still the problem persist. Many people including me reported on the forum. It looks like the problem is on the Google end. Probably google denies access from Vivaldi. But strangely, I could access GMail in "incognito" window from Vivaldi. Probably people involved can guess something about whats going on. In this new snapshot also it persists.
Thanks for the nice browser. Really love it. Using Firefox to check GMail as of now.
