Google "Sign in Page" pops up when starting Vivaldi and almost all 15 Mins
-
Hello Community,
im at my wits end about this:everytime i (re)start my machine and open the vivaldi desktop app, in which i am logged in to a google account, for YT and the mail/calender stuff, i keep getting the same loggin page, in which google states, that i need to give vivaldi perms, i do, next page tells me vivaldi ALREADY has perms and i set it to trust vivaldi, and this pop up alway appears after i start vivaldi or around the 15 min mark randomly.
also happened when i was gaming and the pop up randomly took the screen fokus from me.Whats is more curious is, i only get a security notification via google, the first time this issue appears.
all the following times, no security notification pops into my mail.my best assumption from reading in the forum is as follows:
Googles oAuth makes Problem and doesnt retain my browser as trustable basically
I already deleted the mail account, restarted vivaldi and added it again, same behavior.
I am grateful for any ideas, options or to dos to find a solution, i love vilvadi and dont want to need to switch back to another mailing system.
Thank you very much beforehand. -

@MarcoManglitz I guess you use Vivaldi Mail with a Google mail account and Google Calendar?
Looks like Google has changed the last days the oAuth procedure and detects browser changes.
I had to authenticate twice on my PC, confirming number pairs on my Android smartphone for Google mail and Calendar accounts. -
@DoctorG Exactly, i am using both the mail and calendar function of my gmail acc in vivaldi.
I had to authentificate the first time i logged in, when setting up vivaldi some time ago, after that i have only gotten security notifications, or the pop up screen, as described.
do you know if i can do something now regarding the 0auth changes?
I saw an option or read about it, that i can change what vivaldi identfies itself as?
this will impact how google "sees" vivaldi i assume and could this help maybe?I have no clue about 0auth and how the changes impact us right now.

I do not know how Google detects a new browser.Some months ago removing GMail accounts and Google Calendars in Vivaldi, restarting and re-adding them helped.

@DoctorG I sadly thought, that this will be the only viaable Option, i will test it asap and report back, to see if this fixed it. Thanks!

Hello everyone,
i finally have an update:
Today i deleted the related gmail account from vivaldi, but didnt take away vivaldis permissions in my google account.
Then, i went and checked the settings for the browser batch, which is usually set to "google chrome", which i changed to "vivaldi" after i added the mail account in the past, before the issue appeared.
Therefore, i changed it back to Google Chrome, added the account again and got no issues.
So, i deleted the account again, changed the batch to vivaldi again, added the account, still with Oauth and now it is working fine.
My best guess right now is, that google tracks the batch, which gets transmitted the first time you login iwth your account, and i logically broke this, with the change of the batch, while the "old batch" remained with google.
will report back, if the issue resufarces, hope this helps when someone has the same issue.
@DoctorG is this post visibel to all users/net searches, the way it is now? If People can't find it, the updates would be useless. Best Regards
