Microsoft Teams for Linux: cannot log-in to Google in a tab. Google reports "insecure browser"

Question

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click on a team.
2. On the top bar of the team click '+' (add a tab)
3. Click Website
4. Paste the URL of an existing shareable document from Google Docs (docs.google.com) and click OK
5. Click on the new tab
6. Google log-in screen appears. Add your google log-in e-mail and click next

Wanted behavior: the password link appears, you fill in the google account password and see the document.

Current behavior: Google refuses to log in and reports the following error:

"Couldn't sign you in. This browser or app may not be secure. Learn more - Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can refresh your screen and try again to sign in."

Answer 1

Hi @lefterav ,

To exclude if this issue related to your google account, have you tried to change another gmail account to sign in?

Does this issue persist on Teams web client?

Can you login your gmail account directly in web browser?

I tried to follow your steps to reproduce your issue, but it seems no issue in my environment. We can sign in normally and see the documents here.

Some customer seems use app password to solve the problem. For more discussion about it, you can refer to:

To exclude if this issue related to your google account, have you tried to change another gmail account to sign in?

Yes, I tried with another Google account and it doesn't work either.

Does this issue persist on Teams web client?

No, I can open properly google accounts within Teams on my web browser.

Can you login your gmail account directly in web browser?

yes, I can do that perfectly.

Some customer seems use app password to solve the problem.

This is for thirds app, I cannot produce an app password for google docs

So the problem remains unresolved.

Which environment did you try? I have Ubuntu 20.04
