Can't login to any google services

@torgils said in Can't login to any google services:
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..

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.
-
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. -
@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. -
I use several Google accounts (GMail, GDrive, Blogger, Google Photos, G +, YouTube) and I do not have any logging problems in any of them.
Therefore I also think that the problem has to be related to some security soft, configurations or extension that caused this issue
Maybe it can help if everyone who has this problem lists their detailed specifications and software loaded with Vivaldi, maybe they'll find things they have in common -
@ayespy Tried it in all three modes (Single user, all, standalone) with new profiles, installed to my C:\Program Files\ directory as well as C:\ (drive is an ssd), just using windows defender (same issue with it disabled), reverted all Vivaldi flags with no change. Even tried running it as admin, no dice. Windows 10 Pro 64bit up to date.
I went and installed Vivaldi.1.15.1147.42.x64 from the archive page and it works fine, although it uses the old version of the google sing-in page when it logs you in. If you upgrade from that version it will keep you logged in until you are prompted to sign in again (like when you install an app through the play store).
Should add that google works fine on FF, Edge, Chrome, Chromium, and Brave for me.

@catweazle Since every other browser works (especially Chromium-based ones) it's most likely something Vivaldi changed causing the issue.
-
@standpipe Not necessarily. It obviously requires a combination of factors because only a few users experience it. That means it's not JUST Vivaldi, but Vivaldi+(SOMETHING), but what? For instance, Google has borked its services in the past for certain geographic areas. Where are you in the world?

Yes, it is strange, but Vivaldi is not like other Chromium and in other posts are reported conflicts with certain installed security programs that do not exist with other Chromium browsers.
The first idea was that Google itself discriminates against Vivaldi with its Browser sniffing (what in the new Google Sites format it still does), but then I and others also had logging problems, which is not the case. -
@ayespy Of course there is a conflict of some sort, but it is clear the new version is the main culprit as old versions and other Chromium browsers work as expected. If every other Chromium browser works, as well as incognito mode, there is something in the main browsing mode that is broken but only making itself known in very specific situations.
I'm in western NY.

@standpipe Well, Europe or Eastern Europe has traditionally been the Google no-fly zone. So I would say it's not that. I read elsewhere on line that some were having the same trouble with Slim Browser when it updated to Chromium 69. So it's something Google did, but we can't tell what, yet.
I suspect what will ultimately solve this is user logs from users with the problem, OR, there will be minor update that updates the Chromium version of 2.0, and it will vanish like magic with no cause ever known. Site Isolation has prevented Google sign-in in the past, and it's standard now in 69, but I haven't seen evidence it's a problem elsewhere, outside of Vivaldi. Real puzzle.

There may be a clue here. I could not sign in to GMail as such from Vivaldi (freshly installed or old or with/without addons). But I could do this on incognito window.As @Standpipe said, other browsers works just fine with add ons included.
As an after thought, I have checked my Google security settings and found Vivaldi is granted full access. Snapshot attached. But I have to add this - seeing Vivaldi mentioned as a separate app which is granted full access is something I do not see for other browsers such as Firefox. So somehow GMail or google is treating Vivaldi as a separate app which is causing this ?
I am using latest snapshot on Win 10
2.1.1317.4 (Official Build) (64-bit)Thanks

@hari-cu That's interesting - why do they have to single us out as though we were not a browser?
-
@hari-cu I believe this was for account syncing, you can remove the access and Vivaldi does not ask for it back. Also Chrome is shown on that page, just as a Google app with access, not a third-party app.
-
@standpipe Interestingly, My Vivaldi was only granted full access to my Google account TWO DAYS AGO (without any intervention from me), while the Vivaldi mail client shows as having been granted access in March of 2017. Whut?
-
@ayespy
I myself do not remember granting this access myself. Something happened automatic by itself? But why not other browsers listed such as Opera, Firefox or Brave which I use?
Its good to see whether all those reporting issues with GMail or google access has this list as Vivaldi singled out.
Meantime I will try what happens if I deny that access and then check.
Thanks -
@hari-cu Good question.
