Google blocks login from nativefier app, unless setting userAgent to non-Chrome browser

Question

Google blocks login from nativefier app, unless setting userAgent to non-Chrome browser

thehunmonkgroup opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

EDIT from maintainer @ronjouch see comments below, the workaround as of March 2020 is to lie about the userAgent, for example passing --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0" . It would be cool to do that automatically on opening / navigating to an accounts.google.com page, PR welcome.

Description

I've created a nativefier app for https://contacts.google.com, and it installs just fine, but Google seems to be blocking the initial login with this message:

You're using a browser that Google doesn't recognize or that's set up in a way we don't support.
To keep your Google Account secure, sign in on another browser or change your browser's settings.

My older nativefier apps pointed to Google services are still loading OK, I'm guessing because the login is already saved and Google isn't blocking things at that stage.

I'll note that I also tried another desktop app generator (https://github.com/quanglam2807/webcatalog), and the same issue is occurring, so perhaps there's some deeper fix needed at the Electron level or something?

Steps to reproduce issue

Create the app with the command below
Try to log into Google
Get the message listed above

this is a well known issue:

Google will no longer allow OAuth requests to Google in embedded browsers. "On April 20, 2017, we will start blocking OAuth requests using web-views for all OAuth clients on platforms where viable alternatives exist." We received this notice. In our iOS app using the Google drive, but google drive sdk no updated.

you cannot electronize Google's original apps anymore -> deal with it, it's forbidden

It works for me on installations that I had logged into previously, but not newly created applications.

thehunmonkgroup · Answer 8 · Tue Sep 03 2019 08:16:52 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Aidoboy are you using 2-factor authentication?

Further testing seems to confirm that the issue only occurs with 2-factor authentication enabled on the Google account.

If this is in fact the limitation, I wonder if there are any practical workarounds besides completely disabling 2-factor authentication?

Filip Oščádal · Answer 9 · Tue Sep 03 2019 16:12:56 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

it's not 2FA related

any app trying to reach out to Google OAuth login page will open an external browser window

installed apps must open the system browser and supply a local redirect URI to handle responses from Google's authorization server

Aido · Answer 10 · Tue Sep 03 2019 22:09:24 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Because we can’t differentiate between a legitimate sign in and a MITM attack on these platforms, we will be blocking sign-ins from embedded browser frameworks starting in June 2019.

After successfully logging in using the FF userAgent hack described, I found that external links were broken in Gmail. Solved this by:

Creating the original nativefier app with --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0"
Open the app, log into Google
Shut down the app
Edit [path to app]/resources/app/nativefier.json, and remove the userAgent attribute from the JSON.

I tried all the solutions here, and still couldn't get it to work for classroom.google.com.

What worked for me:
Go to https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent and use the user agent they say your browser is using. I imagine that all the user agent strings I was using were old versions, and that Google is being more aggressive about rejecting old versions of browsers. I used my current user agent string, along with internalUrls set to .* and it worked fine for me. Next step for me will be constraining the .* to a more restricted Regex, but at least I got the app to work!

Joe Skeen · Answer 26 · Wed Jul 29 2020 05:38:24 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

FWIW, I made a few changes that would compute the version number of the latest Chrome release and set that as the agent string every time the nativified app starts. I'm not going to make a pull request for it, because it's a very brittle (uses screen scraping) and does some async stuff in ways that make me uncomfortable - but if you want to, go ahead and check it out:
https://github.com/joeskeen/nativefier/tree/auto-user-agent
To use it, set userAgent to auto.
I tested it and it works for Google apps.

Sure. Just pushed a few README commits to make it more visible.

Hmmmmmmm, can't repro here, for me both work fine. The contrary would have been very strange; when you omit the protocol, Nativefier automatically fills it as https.

That being said, I do believe you that sometimes somehow you aren't able to login, and it matches the new May 30 deadline for strengthened Google Login annoyance. But the conditions to be annoyed and to evade it seem to be unclear.

Another example that is working, this time for Google Fi:

nativefier messages.google.com/web/conversations \ 
--name "Google Fi" \ 
--single-instance \ 
--honest

2-Factor enabled, on VPN, from the US, verification via a tap on the phone.

Turns out all you got to do is be honest :D

Just redoing mine so they are arm64 and can confirm the above --honest works a treat.
