Hi all, I’m having a weird issue when I try to log into a gmail (accounts.google.com) account, I type in the account name, hit next, and it just kind of sits there.
I’ve tried it in an alternate phone account, tried wiping the Iodé Browser storage, etc. It just doesn’t seem to work at all, somehow.
Your sample video may be a “false positive” as Google knows that isn’t a valid account so it kicks you back to the account entry screen?
I can confirm on a test device that authenticating with Google for Thunderbird and Davx5 (for contacts and calendar sync) and logging into the web browser works fine (using “Aegis” for 2FA authentication in my test case).
Possibly you don’t have some microG settings enabled? (“System Settings > System > microG”)? It may need (?) Device Attestation, Google Device Registration, etc? (sorry I didn’t try with any of those not enabled)
Ah, good idea, but I did try with a valid account. I was just using a nonsense account name for the purposes of the video.
Shouldn’t it be able to work in Iodé Browser (a.k.a. Firefox) regardless of the MicroG settings, though?
I even tried wiping Iodé Browser’s data (virtual reinstall), and it’s still doing the same thing (not letting me continue after typing in my email address on the Sign In screen).
Sorry I can’t replicate. I just logged into gmail on a Pixel 3a XL (iodé 6.12). For me, after entering email address, then next screen of password, it then directly attempts to use 2FA options I don’t have (well I do have it linked to a Yubikey for desktop). So I have to then swipe back and set “use another way” where I can then select “Google Authenticator” and then enter my Aegis code (personally there is no way I am using Google Authenticator ). Anyway, all that does work (iodé Browser and Thunderbird).
So in your video it never even asks for the password, right?
Is there maybe a setting in your Google Account security preventing something? Sorry I am a bit ignorant on this now, we may need input from some others.
If you can look at that maybe you will see “blocked devices or something”?
I tried downloading the Jelly browser (from the Iodé f-droid repo, I believe), and it does work there. Of course, that doesn’t help with Thunderbird, as that’s using the system webview provided by Iodé Browser.
I don’t see how it could work in Jelly, but not work in a brand new guest session on the same machine with the Iodé Browser.
Very strange.
You are running an older OS version on that phone, though. Might’ve been a more recent regression.
I don’t log into gmail very often, so there’s no telling how long this bug’s been there. I wiped my thunderbird config on accident, and that’s the only reason I noticed.
). Anyway, all that does work (iodé Browser and Thunderbird).
