Google apps email login not working
-
I'm not sure this is actually a Vivaldi issue, but starting yesterday, I was not able to log into my Google Apps (or whatever they are now calling it) email account. At the password screen, I'd enter my password, hit enter, and it would redirect back to the same screen. No error, no nothing.
I just installed Chrome UA Spoofer, added an entry for generic chrome, and magically, it worked again.
Is there a way to change the user agent string, without using an extension? I looked in settings and didn't see one.

@bkavanaugh Vivaldi does not have UA spoofing. Google is getting more and more strict about not allowing non-Chrome users to log on to their Google Apps. It is possible to start Vivaldi with a switch that identifies it to everyone as Chrome 60 or 61 or whatever you want, but the ability to falsify UAs is not at this time built in to Vivaldi.

I also have the same issue:"Couldn't sign in to Google Gmail. It suspects Vivaldi is not secure. Tried, refreshing clearing browser and cache but still not working

Same here!
My guess would be the missing support for JavaScript is the cause.Google says:
"Sign in using a supported browser
To protect your account, Google prevents you from signing in through certain browsers. Therefore, it may not be possible to sign in using browsers that
do not support JavaScript or have JavaScript disabled,
use unsafe or unsupported extensions,
are controlled by software automation and not by a human, or are embedded in another application." -
@MyEncore @Maverick1968 This is a 3 year old thread for what was likely a completely different issue...
But most likely you've disabled Crypto Token under
Settings > Privacy > Google Extensions
. This extension is required for Google login. -
