Yeah I solved this once before, but seems like Google found a new way to detect Electron. I personally have moved to a Chrome app version and I am not sure if I will solve this issue or not.

👋 believe I was the one having the issue originally. A fresh install on 10.15.4 with 2FA on my google account worked fine. Just got recommended to use a "new" browser.

@klinker24 "moved to a chrome app version"? curious about it, mind sharing? need a lightweight email client for multiple inboxes as well.

Hi @klinker24 I'm sure you know but FYI it's happening again - Google requests an updated browser. Have uninstalled and tries reinstalling several times, rebooting, letting days go by, no change.

Hello, dear author. Can you recommand a specificial version of chrome browser? I have come across the same problem and haven't solved it.
